Tuesday, Day 43

Today we are going back to the real world.  We have to clean the cabin and pack everything up.  You talk about creating order... you have to prepare the cabin to be empty and ready for the next person who stays there, but you don't know how long that will be.  Vacuum, clean refrigerator, all laundry done and away, beds made, bathrooms clean, all trash out, heat off, water heater off doors locked.  It takes all morning, but is so much easier and has 3-4 less steps in the summer months than the winter.  Makes me glad we don't have to do that everyday.  Maybe I wont whine about needed to sweep my kitchen before bed tomorrow night.

We packed and left the cabin and decided to go to Grandfather Mtn.  It was perfect weather.  You could see for miles!  We all climbed the steps to the summit and climbed on the rocks for the best view.  The boys has so much fun and I can't believe that Matt and I had never done this before.  Could have been a little cheaper, but the view was worth it!

We got home to a mess!  All of our yardsaling adventures were everywhere and it looked like we left in a hurry.  My kitchen looked like a dumping ground for left over stuff.  It made me feel tired, just walking in the door!  Ugh!  I should have remembered how wonderful it felt after we go home from my parent's house and everything was spotless.  Well we have one more day of "vacation" to get back on track before Matt goes back to work.
