Happy Mid Summer!!
I am a tad behind but, here is the Readers Digest version of things!
Man it has been HOT here in the South, but really everywhere!
But even though it is hot, I am the weird one who still drinks hot coffee, no matter what the temp outside!
Are you team cold coffee or hot?
Around here it has been a busy summer so far, we are trying to pack as much as possible into the time we have before we all head in different directions in mid August.
Ella, Gary & I started playing weekly tennis.
At first we sucked, but now we suck less & less and really enjoy it!
In May, Ella and I took a fantastic girls trip to NYC and it was amazing.
This was the first time we had ever spend any time there and we loved every minute of it.
Here just a few of the hundreds of pictures I snapped.

I know when you hear motor lodge and it brings up visions of old, dark, scary motels on the side on the road! Not in this case,we visited the newly remodeled and stunningly gorgeous Rhode's Motor Lodge in Boone and WOW!
Let me show you around!
We loved the fire pit after a long day of tubing |
Game room/Chill Zone |
Fire Pit area during the day |
Plenty of room to enjoy a meal from The Canteen-the onsite house bar & restaurant |
The whole place got new paint and updated |
Bathroom had plenty of space for us |
The branded Coleman cooler in your room is a nice touch |
Mountain Views |
The patio is a great place to grab a drink |
The vibe here is mid century |
My favorite part is they kept the old Greene's Motel sign |
