The time away was simply amazing. The weather was amazing, the company was amazing, the accommodations were amazing. And to make this amazing time without kids possible, we had some amazing grandparents staying with Noelle and Sadie. Here are some highlights.
Celebrating Pappy's birthday before we head to Gatlinburg.
A squeeze from Grammy
The staff had 3 cabins, 2 large ones like the one in this picture and one smaller one
Brad and I were in the smaller cabin with 2 other couples
Our cabin mates flashing the gang symbol for those who stay at 'The Eagle' cabin (and conveniently wear matching shirts)
Dinner at the AppleBarn restaurant. The girls
The guys (pastor Brad was hoping everyone would show off their muscles)
Our seat at dinner was a porch swing! Very fun.
Those are apple fritters and Applewood juleps - the complimentary appetizers for all their guests.
No trip to Gatlinburg is complete until you venture into The Great Smokey Mountains for a hike.
There were 2 hikes offered - one was 2.6 miles and one was 5.4 miles. This is the brave group that did the long one. (lets just say I was glad our cabins came with hot tubs)
Rainbow Falls; the climax of the hike. If you look closely to the left you can see tiny people to give you perspective of how tall the falls is.

I was going to ask you at church if you were still sore but didn't get to see you. Hope you weren't too much! It was great hanging out with you guys!
Wow, that looks great! So glad you all had an amazing time!
