Vacation story

As many of you know we went to Tennessee for vacation. we got back on Friday night. I'm going to do this in 2 parts, one as the story, and one as the pictures. Ok, so we left early Saturday morning, and we drove all the way to Knoxville, TN and stayed in a hotel Saturday night. Sunday morning we went to the mall and walked around and looked at a couple stores before we left the Knoxville area for our cabin. Then we got to the area before we could check into our cabin, so we spent quite a bit of time at a family Christian bookstore outlet which we love! Its huge and most everything is super cheap! Anyways, so we went and checked into our cabin which I wish so bad I had a video of the drive to the place because once again, at the top of the mountain I swear...lol and its not like a regular highway or anything its like, well I would call it 1 1/2 lanes lol and really winding and curvy road. The cabin ended up being a little different than the other nicer ones we have stayed in before, but they came and fixed the things and cleaned the things that needed it, so i guess its ok lol...We didn't really do much while we were down there, just relaxed, watched movies, read magazines, went shopping, and drove through Cades Cove...OH and we climbed a mountain! I know, crazy huh, you probably don't believe me lol, well its true :) It was a paved path a mile and a half up a mountain, so 3 miles both ways and it climbs about 300 feet in that mile and a half, great exercise and I was so proud of myself for doing it, doesn't sound near as impressive as it was when we were there lol, actually i will show the picture later, but there was actually a sign that said warning falling deaths have occured, keep children close or something like that lol lots of people had a walking stick, which would have been a fantastic idea! lol at the top of the path was Laural Falls, a beautiful waterfall, I have pictures of that too...and man oh man my legs were sore the next day, but it was ok :) lol....well anyways, then we drove home on Friday, and I was about ready to cry I was just ready to get home, like when we were 2 hours from our house...ugh...but we finally made it back and i'm glad to be home, and now after the holiday weekend, to get back to normal life...ok, thats about it really for the story, kinda boring i know lol but I will add the pictures soon, I don't know if it will be tonight, I'm pretty tired lol
