Perks of the Life :)

Some days it is hard being a tugboat wife. Some days, it's hard being a wife at all, but add in the adventures of river life, and you've got a whole new ball of wax! I kow it's hard for Butch too, he is away and misses a lot of holidays, special events, birthdays, school events, etc. Living with 3 other men half the year in a small confined place isn't a piece of cake by any means, I am sure.

But some things make this life all worthwhile! Since Butch works a week, and then is home a week, we are afforded a small luxury. It's called......"vacation when you want it".

Being able to get away for a few days is wonderful, but most people have to do it on weekends. That means, you leave for vacation tired and you come home tired and then go right back to work. It also means you travel on peak days and pay higher weekend rates at hotels. Not so for us!

Lat week, Butch whisked me away to the mountains of North Georgia and North Carolina to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary.  He knows the secret...take this Lowcountry girl to the mountains and you've scored MAJOR brownie points :)

Ah......this made it all worthwhile......definitely a BIG TIME PERKS!!!!!

Here's Butch and me, enjoying our day :)
