Mother's Day Weekend in Gatlinburg


Mother's day weekend marked our first trip to the Gatlinburg, TN and the smokey mountains. It was great surprise vacation masterminded by Dan. We went with our buddies the Maxfields. Thanks to Heidi for find the great cabin. While we were there we braved the treacherous roads (and driveway), hit up the local outlets, play hillbilly miniature golf, visited the little shops in Gatlinburg, went for a hike were we saw a black bear and two cubs, and ate at Calhoon's Best Ribs in America (YUM!). Our cabin was beautiful complete with a fully stocked kitchen, hot tub and pool table. We did a lot of cooking there including a yummy curry dish, our very first French dip sandwiches and key lime pie by Heidi, and baked french toast and cinnamon rolls by moi. It was such a great trip!!! Here are some photos of our fun filled weekend! Thanks again to the best husband on the planet!

I don't know that I'd brag about the "fully stocked" kitchen. Come on, what kitchen doesn't have tin foil?! :)

We had a great time! Thanks for letting us crash your babymoon!

Three cheers for your breakfast! I'm ready to be invited over for another.
