Well... this past Saturday, our family was enjoying a beautiful day driving and talking and having a "Sabbath pic-nic" in our vehicle (because we couldn't settle on 'the perfect' pic-nic spot... and was getting rather hungry ;) [hee!hee!] And amidst our eating--which the kids thought was very unusual and *fun*-- they thought we should do it more often!! [I have different ideas about that] but it sparked conversations of different "eating in the car" memories from James and myself... ususally on long roadtrips to the Smokies :) Well, you know I had to share my "Spur Of The Moment Smokey Mountain" story with them!! And can you GUESS what THAT led to?? YES!!! OUR *very own* "Spur of the moment" UNplanned SMOKEY MOUNTAIN trip!!!! Yep! We *DID IT* We just took off and spent two nights in the Great Smokey Mountains! :D We had such a wonderful time... I'm sure our kids will NEVER forget!
Sure, it will take some "juggling" and "sacrificing" financially... a Smokey Mountain trip was NOT "in our budget"... but we don't LIVE a life "above our means" always wasting our money on frivilous things, and the "bills" are ALWAYS going to be there. Our "KIDS" are growing up and growing "away"... it was Worth it to create these "once in a lifetime" CraZy "spur of the moment" memories with them :) It is something I will ALWAYS remember and ALWAYS cherish... I hope they will too!
So... have YOU ever done anything spontaneous and cRazY and *FUN*? Maybe you should! :) Make some memories for yourself and those you love <3
