Gatlinburg!

Gatlinburg is a place that Kurt and I have visited a few times, but this was the first time to go with our new family of three! Kurt and I went as a newlywed couple back in May 2007, and that was a blast, but nothing compares to this past trip with our little man! What an adventure! We also went with our good friends Keith and Lindsey Scott, and stayed in a beautiful cabin overlooking Mt. Leconte. The weather was beautiful, with the exception of one rainy day, and we had a great time walking the strip and eating at some great places.

When we arrived on Saturday afternoon, we got settled into the cabin, and then headed out that night to eat dinner. We decided to eat at Calhoun's on the strip, where the guys claim they ate the best ribs they've ever had! We walked around for a little bit after that, but it was getting cold, so we headed in early.

Sunday started out with pancakes at FlapJack's, then walking around the strip more until the bottom fell out, so we headed back to the cabin for the rest of the afternoon and night.

Monday was gorgeous weather, so we got out around lunch and stopped by Fannie Farkle's to eat a footlong corn dog! They were so delicious! Poor Lindsey couldn't have one, so we stopped by a Mexican place called No Way Jose's for her. After lunch, we walked up the strip to play putt-putt. We were all very competitive, but Kurt had Jack on his team, so of course they won! We then stopped by Baskin Robbins for ice cream! That's only my favorite ice cream place in the world!

On our way home on Tuesday, we ate breakfast at the Pancake Pantry, the best pancake restaurant in the world.

Here are a few pictures from the trip:

We found this huge rocking chair and just had to get in it!

Jack wanted a picture by himself.

Jack loved strolling around Gatlinburg. He looked so precious all bundled up!
