Gatlinburg TN
We are sooo fried. We’ve been working way too many hours for way too many days. Because cabin cleaning is no longer a paid job, it has fallen to us. This week, we’ve put in 30 hours – way too much! Kelly mentioned something about burnout to the owners and the next thing we knew, we’d been offered a free night in one of their cabins (http://www.arrowcreekcabins.com).
We packed enough stuff for an overnight and headed out. We had some trouble finding the cabin as it’s really off the beaten path. It was worth the search, though.
There was a big over-stuffed leather couch in the living room. Kelly sat at one end, with her feet up, and I sat at the other, also with my feet up. I was snoring within minutes.
Kelly has a thing about laundry – doing laundry just makes her feel better. Because we knew there would be a washer and a dryer in the cabin, we took all our dirty laundry along. She had such a wonderful time washing all our clothes!
In the early evening, I sat on the front porch and watched a thunderstorm roll in across the mountains. I could see sheets of rain falling in the valley and lightning strikes coming down from the clouds. I loved hearing the rain falling on the metal roof.
Kelly played a game of pool in the living room, just steps away from her laundry.
We had packed some leftovers for dinner and ate them in front of the wide-screen TV.
We did not turn on either of the gas fireplaces (one in the living room and one in the bedroom). We also skipped the hot tub on the porch and the Jacuzzi in the bedroom. Kelly was primed to take a bubble bath, but the water smelled strongly of sulfur and she thought the odor would clash with her bubble fragrance.
We had a much-needed break from the campground. We returned to work with the clear knowledge that one night just wasn’t enough.
