Travels to Tennessee

It's so nice being so close to multiple different states. When the hubby gets a long weekend off (generally on a VERY short notice) We pack very fast and head south, or to one of the surrounding states. It's awesome! This last weekend, we decided to go to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We generally go glamping in little camping cabins that just have beds and an A/C. Sometimes we get lucky and they have a fridge and a microwave. ;)

We went to Gatlinburg National Park, I really suggest that for anyone who is traveling that way. It takes a while to drive up the mountain, make sure your "oh Sh*t handle" is engaged and strong.


We played in the river. Colton's favorite part.

He played with rocks, and threw them in the river, over and over, and over. 

After that we went even further up the mountain, and saw what was my favorite part of the trip. Wayyyy wayyy up there, there was a huge ranch full of horses. 100's and 100's of acres of flat land in the mountain, and lots of amazing horses. We got lucky enough to get super close and pet them. 

We then went back to our cabin and got cleaned up, and went to Hatfield and Mccoy dinner show. It was hilarious, and completely worth it. The pulled pork was great, some of the best I have had. The actors and actresses were on point! Once we got back to the cabin, we had a little camp fire and made plans to head back north in the morning to stay the night in Corbin, Kentucky. It was a smaller town, and right up the road there was the Cumberland falls. (on a full moon, there's whats called a "moonbow" which is like a rain bow, but only happens there on a full moon, we weren't there at the right time though) It was gorgeous though. 

It was definitely awesome but by the falls, there were a lot of people, and it was only tied off on the top by a few pieces of rope. Definitely hold on to your kids lol It was a beautiful trip and adventure but it felt so nice to be home with all 62 of my pillows.
