Weekend in Gatlinburg, TN


It has been a while since I have blogged, so here it is. Over this past Veteran’s day weekend, Ryan and I went down to Gatlinburg, TN to have a nice relaxing weekend at his Uncle Bob’s Cabin. We met his brother, Jay, sister-in-law, Ashley, and mom, Harriet along with my dad, his wife, Whittney, and my two step sisters, Jordan and Sydney.

While we were there we went into town to walk around and look at the little country shops. We also went to a brewery of course to watch our football games (UC, NC State, UVA and Virginia Tech all WON!) After a late lunch, we decided to work it all out playing blacklight put put golf which was very fun and entertaining especially since it was inside. We were all a bit cold, as it was a little chilly for this time of year. We then went home to a relaxing evening in the hot tub, some air hokey was played and then a horrible movie was watched in the media room with all the girls. I do NOT recommend Tara Road. It is sad with not so great acting and Jordan and Ashley did a good job of imitating it later.

After that long day, we awoke the next morning to say by to my dad, Whittney, Jordan and Sydney. They had to return home for school and work on Monday. We (Ryan, Jay, Ashley and Harriet) stayed until Monday. So, on Sunday we decided to check out the Tanger Outlets in Pigeon Forge. I did do some damage at Old Navy, but Ashley seemed to beat me on this one. We had fun and enjoyed our time together. The day ended with a nice dinner at Carino’s Italian Restaurant.

Monday came and it was already time to leave. We left around 11am or so and stopped at Cracker Barrel for Lunch in Bristol. Then headed to Valley View Mall in Roanoke to buy a shower gift for a wedding shower Ryan and I are attending this week. We picked up our little Abby from my brother’s and went home for dinner and hit the sack.
