I'm itching for a new camera. For the Honeymoon... yeah... that's the ticket.

Look at this. This beautiful piece of gadgetry *sniff*. It's almost too beautiful.

I haven't really had the opportunity to take any pics over the last few months. I've been busy and the weather and scenery hasn't been anything worth breaking out the camera. Taylor did get some use out of the camera on his trip to Washington a few weeks ago, though. He's offered to buy the camera from me when/if I upgrade.

Anywho, Katie and I are finalizing the honeymoon. We're gonna try to take 3 days off (since I've got the new job and she doesn't have a full year in at her work either) and head to the smoky mountains in Tennessee. There's a bed and breakfast over there called Berry Springs Lodge or some such business... It met all our requirements.

Let's go over them, shall we?

1. Far away
2. Mountenaiety Mountaineousness Big Rocks
3. Bed and Breakfast
4. Fairly Inexpensive
5. Hot Chicks Room (Edited For Personal Safety)

We believe all the requirements have been met and greatly exceeded. The bed and breakfast is nestled in the Smoky Mountains and is close to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. It's also close to Gatlinburg, where Katie and I went in high school for a youth convention.

This picture sold me.

It's the view from their porch, supposedly.

As you can see, this trip necessitates the purchase of a high price, shiny new gadget. I can't use a mac mini in the mountains, and a plasma screen tv would be bulky for Katie to carry through the woods, so I'm selling the idea of a digital SLR currently. More specifically, the Nikon D50.

Hopefully, my tax refund will go a long way to bank rolling this latest craving. Additionally, I hope to make this purchase before Katie is legally allowed to punch me in the mouth for buying gadgets. Godspeed to you, IRS.
