Show us your Life!

Kelly @ Kelly's Korner does a weekly Show us your Life blog link. I have been meaning for some time now to join in on the fun! This weeks topic is Show us your favorite vacation spot. WOW!! What a hard topic. Nathan and I have been blessed with the opportunity to take some really fun trips. I picked my favorite(two)!
”Show Us Your Life with Kelly's Korner”



My top favorite was our honeymoon to Puerto Vallarta. It was absolutely the most beautiful place(outside of America) that I have ever seen. We stayed at the all-inclusive Dreams Hotel. They had the BEST food and all of their restaurants were very yummy. We had lots of R&R, we went zip-lining through the mountains, and enjoyed getting dressed up for dinner each night.

This was the view from our hotel room. I loved looking out and seeing the ocean and the mountains.

Nathan enjoying a little snooze...this was probably after his intense game of ping-pong with a couple we met.

We were walking to dinner the first night- the hotel had hardwood pathways that were beautiful.

Happy Newlyweds!!


Doesn't get more beautiful than this!! Look at this sky...picture perfect.

We had some friends recommend this restaurant- our table was actually on the beach!! Really cool.

We are on our way to go Zip-Lining(something that everyone must do at least once!! They called this car Mexican air-conditioning. It was pretty scary!

Each night we would take a walk on the beach, lots of fun.


Ok so that was my favorite non-American trip...one of these days hopefully we will head back1 Our favorite and inexpensive American trip was last fall when we took a road trip to Gatlinburg, TN! We rented a cabin called the Honey Bear and did lots of hiking and enjoying the beautiful fall weather. We went to the Dixie Stampede. This is a must if you visit Gatlinburg...you eat with your hands and watch a really cool show when the North competes against the South. The hiking is beautiful too. We choose a hike that was a little longer than we thought, but we saw snow at the top! The best part of the trip was being woken up by a bear on our front porch!! He was up early looking for some food.
A beautiful view from Cades Code!

The snow at the top of the mountain!

We were told there was a HUGE waterfall at the top of the mountain...we walked for 4 miles and this is what we saw. haha

Our Honey Bear cabin.

At the top of a mountain looking down over Gatlinburg. So beautiful.


Both of these trips were wonderful. We loved both of them in very different ways. We love traveling together and are already planning our next trip!
