Counting down the days.

My mother, sister and cousin are in the mountains this weekend. My cousin, Lexi, had never been to Tennessee (she's only 3 though) and Mom decided she wanted to take her. It snowed up there last week and some of the roads were unable to be driven on without sliding off of them. After begging and pleading with her for 2 days about waiting until Friday to leave, I won. They're staying at a cabin called Irresistible and they are very pleased with it. Mom is holding it against me that there is no more snow on the ground though. Hey, better safe than sorry right?

I am going to Gatlinburg on February 22 and coming home on the 24th. I can not wait. I love going to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I'm more excited about the dinner reservations my friend, Heather, and I have planned. We're eating at Dixie Stampede and I can NOT wait. She's been before but I have not and the day can not come soon enough. In case you've never heard of the Dixie Stampede before it's a dinner show. They perform their version of the Civil War while you eat. The "audience" is divided into 2 groups... the North and the South. While you're entertained you're served a WHOLE chicken, tea, and various other side dishes. I'm more excited about the chicken and less than amused that it will still have bones in it. It's going to be great!
