Labor Day Weekend "Exercising" in Kingsport

I spent the Labor Day weekend in Tennessee with Alanna and Craig, hoping to relax. Needless to say, relax is one thing that we did not do!! Saturday, we went white water rafting. I was a bit scared, especially after our orientation training...ouch was the main thought going through my mind. However, once we got on the bus I was more excited (of course, there was a boy). John, one of the raft guides....who I did all possible to make sure we were in his raft. Below are a few of our rafting pics (all on land b/c we were to worried about taking a camera in the boat).

So, cute couple or what?!?

Sunday, we went on a 17 mile bike ride on the Virginia Creeper Trail. It started out as a lot of fun...casual trek down the mountain. We enjoyed the scenery along the way. A little more than half way through we stopped to eat lunch. Unfortunately, the restaurant was very busy and we had to rush through the last half of the bike ride. We were very worried that we wouldn't make it back in time to the meeting place to catch our van for the ride home.

After our full day of fresh air, we were exhausted and decided to go out to dinner. We ate at Cootie Brown's, since I had never been there. I really liked the decor inside the restaurant, as much as the outside.
