Vacation, 4th of July Week

We had the best, most relaxing (and fun!) 4th of July week. The weekend before the 4th we loaded up and headed to PeePaw and Grandma Beth's lake house. 

It's always so much fun...we relax on the dock, swim, fish, tube, surf, eat, and just hang out. It really is the best kind of vacation. We also had the best weather this year...sunny and 90s all week.



Peepaw got a new fishing boat so Creed was happy. :)

The boys also love seeing their friends that live in Minnesota.





Happy 4th!










Since the 4th fell in the middle of the week, we decided to spend the last few days of vacation at Cumberland. We ended up driving through the Cumberland Gap to get back (which was awesome!) and when we passed the sign for Natural Tunnel State Park in Virginia, we did a U-turn and went back to check it out.

The view from the top:

It was about a .5 mile hike down to the tunnel, which was the perfect way to stretch our legs!


So cool! It is still a working railroad so you can't go all the way in the tunnel.




Back at Lake Cumberland and just in time for the fireworks at Jamestown and State Dock. The view from the top of the houseboat was awesome.


On our last day, we explored a part of the lake we hadn't been to in a while and found a great place for cliff jumping...


It sure was hard to go home after such an incredible week...
