It ended too soon.

Heather and I got back from Tennessee late Tuesday night. We had a quick little vacation that ended too soon. :( It was refreshing though.

We stayed at River Romance. It was a cute little cabin and it was really close to downtown Gatlinburg. The Little Pigeon River was right in our "backyard". The deck still had snow on it from the weekend so Heather and I were able to play in it. It was fun until I got a snowball in my ear and it froze my ear. Haha. It was there the whole time we were there which was cool.

We drove around looking at the scenery quite a bit. At some points along the road one side of the road was covered in snow and the other side had no signs of snow ever being on it. It looked rather neat. Heather made me stop in the middle of the road (dangerous I know) so that she could play in the snow. It was cold outside so I stayed in my warm car and just took pictures of her. I'm not a huge fan of cold weather or snow.

I let Heather drive down one road and we had a little off road adventure. It was so funny. She went down a little hill and ended up taking a whole big pile of leaves with her along with a tree branch that got stuck under the car. She thought I was mad at her but I told her to go down the little hill and I was laughing the whole time. If damage was done insurance can cover it. We got a good laugh at it and that's all that counts, right? Haha. I turned down a road that looked like something off a horror movie. It was so scary. We were waiting for some murdered to run into the car.

We were unable to do the Off Road Voyages (Hummer Tour). I didn't make the reservation and I read some reviews that it wasn't as great as it was made out to be. That was fine with me, Heather and I took our own little off road voyage. We DID go to Dixie Stampede. I had never been before and I enjoyed it a lot. I was not too wild about the WHOLE chicken though. Heather is such a great friend that she picked my chicken off for me. I do not like meat on bones. If I don't see the bones then it's fine. The only thing I didn't like was smelling the animals though. That was pretty gross.

We got to see some of our co-workers while we were there though! I love seeing them. Michelle didn't have her baby before or during our stay. I was a little sad about that but I know baby Alyssa will come when God intends for her too. She's going to be a blessing for Michelle.

I'm ready for my next trip to Gatlinburg. It won't be next month thought because I'll be on my trip to Savannah with Heather and some other friends then. Hmmm, is it March 14th yet?
