#ANCA Trip Part 3

Wednesday was the first official day of the #ANCA Summit being held at the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont. We spent most of the morning driving around Cades Cove (hot spot for Bears). And man did the bears come out that day! We saw 7 of them! A Mom and her 3 Cubs, 2 more Cubs (Mom was already up the hill) and a Male just taking a stroll down the hillside. From what I was told we were very lucky to see that many in one day. Later in the week we took 3 more drives around Cades Cove and no more bears were spotted. It was a great week to spend out in the Mountains, The weather was perfect and we even had a few thunderstorms to enjoy! There were lots of Campfire and Singing, I learned the words to more songs than I even thought was possible.

Mullins Bay, Barbados

As I was sitting here trying to think of a good topic – idea for my post today, I looked up at my calendar and thought why not write about the place that I have been gazing at for the past 16 days. Mullins Bay, Barbados is absolutely on my list of places that I want to visit in my lifetime. Barbados is considered to be the easternmost Caribbean island although it is actually located in the Atlantic Ocean. It is something about a beach that just gets me … That is my ultimate vacation on a beach somewhere with a nice drink in hand. According to some further research as to how much this trip would cost me, I found that the flight alone can cost upwards of $800. I wonder if me time share works there? And where did I put that penny jar? I need to start counting NOW.

Such a breathtaking place to visit!
