This weekend my little family and I spent some time on vacation with a larger portion of our family Gatlinburg. We spent several days in a cabin with lots of grandkids and had a really nice time. My personal favorite was a visit to the aquarium. I loveaquariums. They even sparked a short-lived desire once to become a marine biologist.
Though marine biology probably would have been great fun, boy am I glad I found geography. I probably wouldn't enjoy aquariums half as much if I had followed that little dream, and that is something I simply could not bare.
We did some other fun things while on our mini vacation. The drive down to Gatlinburg was spent mostly on the Blue Ridge Parkway, which can be accessed just miles from our house. I hadn't been on the Parkway in years and had definitely forgotten how stunning the views were.
We spent a day at Dollywood, where Lily enjoyed (though not the first time or two) some baby roller coasters. Lily and I also snuck off one day and had an ice cream date. Then on the way home we ticked off another winery from the list. I'll post about that later.
It was a good break and we really had a great time. Lily was absolutely worn out and has slept more in the past 3 days than she has in the past 6 months. Spending time with 5 grandkids under 5 years old can really tire you out. Just ask Lily.
