Is it Feb. 22 yet?

Valentine's Day is tomorrow and all I can think about is, "Is it Feb. 22 yet?". Of course I'm not the biggest Valentine's Day enthusiast there is. I think it's sweet when couples take a day to themselves, but on the same day as everyone else? I get aggravated. So, couples are happy and thinking of hearts and candy's and I'm thinking....

"Gatlinburg! I can NOT wait".

Heather and I will be departing Sunday after church and then we’re on our way to a relaxing vacation. I’m so ready to see all my coworkers that live in Gatlinburg or the surrounding areas. I have not seen any of them since the company cook out. We added a few since then so I’m excited to be meeting them.

It’s still up in the air on which cabin we’ll stay in. We really like some of the river properties with the company we use. They’re conveniently located near town and we can walk through Gatlinburg. I’m really wanting to visit the Ripley’s Aquarium. It’s shocking that I have not been there already. I did the Ripley’s Haunted Adventure and I thought it was scary. Others don’t think it is so scary but I’m a chicken. I get startled when someone comes up behind me and says “BOO”. I believe I have done all the Ripley’s attractions except the Aquarium and I’m thinking we might change that while we’re in town.

Still doing the Hummer Tours and Dixie Stampede. Our reservations are locked in for Dixie Stampede but I need to call and reserve the Hummer Tour. I did read somewhere that the Hummer Tour isn’t all it’s talked up to be but I think we decided to draw our own conclusions.
There will be PLENTY of stories and pictures when we get back I’m sure. Michelle, one of our coworkers, is pregnant and I will be so excited if she delivers baby Alyssa while we’re there.
We’re going to try out several other attractions while there. Which ones? That’s not concrete yet. I’ll post a blog about any we try though.

Until next time!…
