yesterday at work i found myself fully revived by the thought of getting out of town for a couple of days. when i got home, i started running some numbers and looking at the weather map. as i saw both of them as detrimental to the dream, i found myself fully deflated. so this morning i chose to follow the joy and i started driving. i knew once i made it to southern kentucky i'd be out of the severe thunderstorm warning. and i knew once i made it that far, i'd might as well head to the smoky mountains.
so i did. and the drive was fabulous.
i stopped in greensburg for a bit to take some photos because the sign on the interstate told me i should visit historic greensburg. i had breakfast at an actual sit-down restaurant because i didn't need to focus on getting anywhere as quickly as possible.
i stopped at the artisan center i like near lexington and spent some time shopping through the unique wares.
i stopped at two fiesta outlet centers, buying several pieces that will augment my collection quite nicely. i even thought about continuing to drive past the smoky mountains because i was having such a good day. but i love the preserve resort, and i love the smoky mountains. so of course i stopped. and so far it's been downhill from there. i'm supposed to be relaxed, and instead i just want to go home. if i leave by 10am tomorrow, i can make it in time to enjoy the lasagna party. and it gives me an hour to argue with the office folks about why i think i should get a refund for the second night i already paid for.
meh.

did you get a refund?
nope, but that's okay. i knew i wouldn't get one, as their policy specifically states that they don't give refunds for early check-out. and the issues with the cabin were "just how some of them are built." so it was a disappointing stay, but the trip as a whole was still worthwhile. i do like me a good drive. :)
i guess you know which cabin not to stay in next time.
