Anniversary Trip

July 27, 2009

David and I took a little trip down to Gatlinburg, TN for our third anniversary. We hope it was the beginning of more traveling of this beautiful side of the country. We were completely unaware that Gatlinburg was such a big tourist attraction, but everyone here rants and raves about it so we thought we’d check it out for ourselves. Jameson spent a couple of nights with the gracious Lynn family, making friends with their lil girl, Kerith, hopefully inspiring her to walk soon! We enjoyed a movie, The Proposal, sleeping in, yummy food, shopping around (not buying anything), and a mild white water kayaking trip… I am prego you know, so we had to scale it back a few notches. It was such a relaxing time, so nice to get away before school starts and eventually baby #2 gets here. We are looking forward to camping in the beautiful smoky mountains with the fam some day. Here’s a few pics.

 

I would say our cabin was "very" secluded, three sides were forest...

The very small, winding, no lines, unmarked treacherous road to our secluded, off the map, cabin... gorgeous though!

The weather was perfect. It rained once, while we were inside eating dinner and it promptly ended as we were paying our bill...
