Gatlinburg

Several weeks ago, we decided to be a "tourist" and walk the streets of Gatlinburg. We really wanted to see if it would a good activity for when family comes to visit. It is definitely tourist-y. I will not say that the day was a waste of time because it was interesting and if we didn't have 2 small children, I think we could have done a lot more, but I don't know if we will do that again.

We did stop by the the Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery. That was pretty interesting. I really wanted to get a sample (because you could try all flavors) but the line was REALLY long. I just wasn't that patient that day.




Blueberry Moonshine...I bet this tasted good!

These guys were pretty good. Taryne insisted we stay and listen a while.



This was in the Davy Crockett Whiskey shop



Ducks! 


Feeding the ducks after lunch at No Way Jose's.


We do have plans to go back to Gatlinburg and visit the Aquarium and some of the other attractions. And it is just such a pretty town to drive through (despite ALL the traffic) and it is the "gateway" to the Smoky's.

School Field Trips

Both kids had field trips at the end of the year on the SAME day. Hayden's class visited a local pizza place, Dion's, and Taryne...
