On the Road Again

Barb and I both needed a day this week to CHILL OUT! Everybody has those days, right? When you just have to go somewhere quiet, and beautiful, and make yourself think happy thoughts. Right? Don't you have those days? Well, the next time you need a peaceful day, head to Watauga Lake near Elizabethton, Tennessee. The sky is blue, the water is deep, and the mountains rise up right out of the lake. And it's so big, it feels like you have the place to yourself.

Luckily for us, there was a couple there enjoying the view, and they snapped a photo for us. Now don't we look relaxed already?

I zoomed in to take this photo, and the jet ski was so far away it sounded like a buzzing bee.

We watched this tiny sailboat drift by for quite awhile. Very peaceful it was, sitting on our picnic bench, watching little boats go by.

We drove a little way up the mountain to this scenic overlook. Isn't it pretty? I don't know anything about Watauga Lake.....how big it is, when it was made, how much use it gets, what anything costs......asking those questions would be too much like work. And we weren't there to work. If you really want to know those things, you can look it up online.

As for me, I'm going to take a nap.
