We just got back from Gatlinburg, TN. We stayed 3 nights. We had some beautiful weather the first day (hot, sunny at 88degrees). Days 2 and 3 it was in the 30's, windy, and at times snowing. Crazy! Anyways, we had some fun, some great food. Went back to see our favorite comedy dinner show at Hoot/Holler. I surprised the boys the next day with a pretty cool Hummer ride through the Smokies. You get in this big open hummer, and they take you on some really rough back country. It was really muddy, and I didn't think there was any way we were going to make it through some of that terrain, but we did. We only got stuck a few times. They were really narrow trails, with the side of the mountain literally just outside your door (I say door, but there weren't any doors on the vehicle). The boys liked it a lot. I strongly suggest it for anyone who goes to the Smokies.
We stayed a few nights at the Wildnerness at the Smokies, a place similar to the Great Wolf Lodge here in Cincinnati. It was a lot of fun. I was impressed that both the boys got on the "waverider". It is where you do that bodysurfing thing. Nathan got on it twice! For those of you who know Nathan and how "cautious" he is, I couldn't be more proud.
Take care, and more to come,
Christine
