Tennessee - Part 1

Our family took a week off and hit the road to Tennessee! We drove about 1/2 way the first day and stopped at a hotel for the night. We enjoyed dinner at Bob Evans before letting the boys swim out their energy in the hotel pool. Always a win!

The next morning we stopped at Metropolis…


After a short stop, we hopped back in the car where Nik and I were able to listen to most of the Chiefs/Dolphins game (played in Germany) as we drove the rest of the way. (Chiefs won).

We arrived at our destination (near Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg) to our cabin for the week just before sunset. Guess what the boys did (first thing) after arriving?

We got settled in for the night and the next morning we woke up, ready to go hiking!

Before I go any further - just know... the weather was perfect (sunny and in the 60's), and the fall foliage was on point! We were a little late to see the reds...but the greens, yellows, oranges and even browns were beautiful!

I have tried to narrow down the number of pics from our hike...

 
Can you spot Zane and Nik in the picture? Jaxen eventually joined them while I stayed at the waterfall taking in all the amazing views (including my boys)!

After our hike (took a couple of hours) we went into town for some lunch and walked around downtown, looking in all the fun stores!

We were all wiped after our day! We went home, hopped in the hot tub, made dinner and lounged the rest of the night!
