A Tennessee Thanksgiving

I got to spend Thanksgiving in the beautiful Smoky Mountains!! How lucky am I? Our original plan had been to go to Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, & believe me when I say I was so so so excited to go. BUT when they started booking the trip, we realized that you have to have passports to stay there. But that didn’t stop us, even with the limited time left; we went to work getting our passports. I could seriously write an entire post on our adventures in trying to get passports. But I’ll just skip to the ending… we didn’t get them. Well mostly, just not mine. Stupid “Not sealed” Birth certificate. Anywho, we settled with renting a cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It definitely wasn’t the Bahamas, but it was actually pretty fun. The cabin was HUGE!! We went with the Klink’s, who are the Waller’s good friends, and their kids. We each could have had our own rooms with space to spare, but the younger kids all shared. Me and Hannah shared a level, each with our own big rooms, with porches on the back, Jacuzzi tubs and TV’s. The cabin had all sorts of fun stuff like an arcade style racing video game, a movie theater, a pool table and a hot tub, so needless to say we were pretty set just hanging out there. But we also spent a lot of time exploring the town, which is pretty much a giant amusement park. It reminded me of a beach town. We did go cart racing, mining our own gemstones, the sky lift {What an awesome view!}, shopping & other amusements throughout the town. & of course ate a lot of good food :) We had a great time!!
