Scenes from the Weekend: March 2014

March 10, 2014 | Uncategorized

We had an absolutely beautiful weekend here in the south. Temps in the upper 60’s/low 70’s and mostly sunny. It truly is amazing how much my mood lifts when the weather is nice!

I took advantage Saturday and went for a 3 mile run. It felt so good to be running outside in a tank top in the sunshine, I think I smiled most of the way.

We were also able to get some work done outside. I bleached the back patio and front sidewalk, and Bobby did some weed pulling and bush trimming in the back yard. It’s not all done yet, but looking so much better!

Bella gets mad when she can’t see over the fence and we are looking over.

We also took the dogs on nice long walks, toured the new St. Jude Dream Home in our neighborhood, and just sat outside chatting. Sunday evening we BBQ’ed in the back yard, enjoying the extra hour of daylight.

It was a great weekend, and I can’t wait for more sunny, warm day!

    We had another cold snap on Saturday but things are warming up. I really hope spring weather is here to stay for a while.

    Well your weather is better than ours here in Minnesota. I did enjoy a 6 mile run in 40 ish degrees. That felt great after sooo much cold. Ready for real spring

    We had a beautiful weekend in central Florida, too. Started the day with a short run and then made it to MK on Sunday for Dapper Day and the premiere of the Festival of Fantasy parade.

    I agree…the weather was amazing this weekend on the Gulf Coast! Today is gorgeous too! It’s definitely starting to feel like spring!

    Upper 60’s/low 70’s and sun? Sounds perfect. Out here in LA, we were in the lower 80’s. It made for a pretty warm Los Angeles Marathon day. Glad I wasn’t running in the marathon! I think winter decided to skip an appearance in Los Angeles this year.

    Nothing says spring/summer quite like the grill!

    I spent the weekend teaching my 10 year old how to write in cursive. Yeah, it was about as fun as it sounds. Actually, he did much better than I thought he would. I did get a good almost 6 mile run in that felt much better than my previous after-Princess runs. I’m in FL, so it was absolutely beautiful here too.

    So jealous of you weather, though it has been warm here in PA (40-50). Looks like you had a wonderful weekend!

Tucked away just outside of Gatlinburg, Alpine Hav Tucked away just outside of Gatlinburg, Alpine Haven was everything we wanted in a mountain getaway—and then some. ⛰️ 

This luxury cabin has 4 spacious bedrooms (including one with built-in bunks that my daughter loved) and 4 full bathrooms, making it perfect for a family trip or group vacation.

We spent our days soaking in the hot tub with mountain views, lounging on the deck by the fireplace with coffee in hand, and playing pool in the game room. 

The cabin even has its own private sauna and steam room—YES, really! It felt like a full-on spa experience right in the woods. ✨ 

And one of the best surprises? It has its own playground, which was a total hit with with daughter and such a bonus for keeping little ones entertained.

We were just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, but honestly, we barely wanted to leave. If you’re planning a Smoky Mountains trip, Alpine Haven is that perfect mix of cozy, modern, and wow-worthy. 💫

I thought about the right time to surprise her, and after then lost the state AAU tournament in the championship game, AND she was sick (crazy cough at the end of the video haha!) 

I knew this would be the perfect time to cheer her up. I think it worked. 😜

We spent the evening at Mountain Mile in Pigeon Fo We spent the evening at Mountain Mile in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and it was one of those simple, sweet evenings that just felt good. 

Located right in the heart of Pigeon Forge, @mountainmilepf is an open-air shopping and entertainment area with gorgeous views of the Smoky Mountains (seriously—those views 😍). It’s super family-friendly, easy to walk around, and there’s so much to do without feeling overwhelming.

We wandered through cute boutiques and shops, played yard games, and just enjoyed being outside in such a pretty setting. There are over 40 shops and restaurants here—plus thrill rides if that’s your thing (we skipped them this time, but they looked fun!).

It’s one of those places where you can go slow, let the kids run around a little, sit and relax with a coffee, or get your shopping fix—all in one spot. And the giant lawn area with yard games? Perfect for kids (or tired parents 😅).

If you’re visiting the Smokies and want something fun and low-stress that everyone can enjoy, I definitely recommend adding Mountain Mile to your list.

🎯 Free parking
📍Central location in Pigeon Forge
👟 Easy to walk + stroller friendly
🍽️ Restaurants, snacks, coffee, and more (Azul was delicious!)
🛍️ Shops from boutique to big brand
🎡 Rides + a massive lawn space for kids to play

Let me know if you’ve been or are planning to go—I’d love to hear your favorite spots there! #mountainmilepartner
