Tennessee Vacation

Andy got to take off a couple more days for us to take a vacation to Tennessee with his family!

We drove down to Pigeon Forge last Saturday on August 11th.

We had lunch with Mark and Stephanie, checked into our cabin, unpacked, and went out to dinner that evening. We came back and went to bed pretty early so we could pack in a lot of fun the next day!

Andy and I were the first ones up on Sunday morning, so we enjoyed reading on the back deck.

After the guys played some pool, we drove down to Gatlinburg!

It is a beautiful town and my favorite place we visited on the trip.

We took the aerial tramway up the mountain.

We walked around the shops at the top of the mountain, grabbed a bite to eat, and then Andy, Eric, and I rode mountain coaster :-) 

Shortly after, we rode the aerial tramway back down the mountain and decided to go to The Old Mill restaurant for dinner :-) 

We ended the night with a round of putt putt :-)

The next day, I took way less pictures because we slept in, went shopping at the outlets, and grabbed dinner at Johnny Carino's.

We played "the train game" and called it a night.

We had to leave on Tuesday, so we got up and went to the Titanic Museum before leaving town. It was so interesting and sad to read more about what happened that tragic day. Since we go on cruises so frequently, it was so alarming to read about the safety protocols they had (or moreso didn't have!) in place.

Even though we didn't get to stay the entire week, we had a great time in beautiful Tennessee!
