Spring Break-Smokey Mountains

Hello again,

So we went to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Smokey Mountains for our spring break trip in 2010. We had a blast. We had some confusion and were sent to the wrong cabin upon our arrival, but after that got all sorted out we were able to get in to see our beautiful view from our cabin. How nice! The kids had to partake in the hot tub right away Sunday evening. They had so much fun! Monday we went shopping and boy did we shop. I got some shorts and tops, Jason got new shoes, Harley got new shorts/tops/swim trunks, Madison and Mercedes got new sunglasses and flip flops.....AND little Madelyn got a rattle. She didn't really need anything so she got short changed this time. ha! We went to eat at Olive Garden and just enjoyed our time with the kiddos. After that we took them to one set of go carts and Dad/Mercedes and Harley/Madison road one. They had so much fun. We then returned to the cabin to grill steak and make baked potatoes. All of us got in the hot tub that night. The weather was spectacular too! It was in the mid to upper 80's the whole time we were there. So nice!!! Tuesday we did more go carts and then rides for the kids. We had intentions of going to Clingmon's Dome, but it was closed. We walked about a mile on the Appalachian Trail. So fun! Madelyn even loved it! We got home late and had lasagna and garlic toast. It was so great! Then Wednesday we had to pack to leave. Mercedes cried that she wanted to stay at the cabin and live there. She said she didnt' want to return to Hiram, Georgia. Finally, she agreed to go home if she could go to school and church again and see her friend, Issac, again. Too cute!

It was a great spring break!
