For our family vacation this year we went to Tennessee to visit my Aunt & Uncle & Grandma who live there. All 4 of their kids + families made it from all over the country. (Alaska, Colorado, Utah and NY)
My Mom, Matt & his fiancé Amanda, Tj, Shaylee & Beau, also made the trip from Illinois and Utah. Along with us and our "Nanny" Keilah.
We left Friday night after Damian got off work and drove the 10 hours only stopping a few times for gas and potty breaks. It was nice missing most of the traffic (except for Chicago) and the fact that the kids slept for most of the trip.
After getting there on Saturday we just hung out, visited with family, swam and napped. The next day a group of us made the hour drive to Gatlinburg to the Ripley's Aquarium.
We got to see and touch sting rays and horse shoe cra
bs. They have a moving walk way that takes you through the shark tunnel. There was lots to look and we had a great time exploring all the fun ocean life.
After the aquarium we walked the street looking at all the neat shops. We got to watch fresh taffy being made and ate hand dipped corn dogs. After a few visits to the candy shops and seeing all the fun things that town had to offer we made the trip back to Greenback.
On our way back Aniela
needed a potty break and as we were looking for a place to stop a little dog ran across the street almost getting hit. We stopped to let her go potty and the little dog jumped right in our car. We ended up bringing it back with us. Introducing "Monster" he ended up living with us for just about a month and we finally found him a nice home.
