2o12 Respite

Ahhh. . . Finally, it is time to get away, rest, rejuvenate and get a fresh mindset! I've been waiting for what seems like forever for this time away with my husband! I'm so thankful for its arrival and I am thoroughly enjoying my time!


Day 1) We arrived on Sunday evening-found our hotel then set out to see what all we could find! We decided we didn't want to eat at any "normal" restaurant and only try new, local joints on this trip! That was pretty much it for that night.


Day 2) What better way to start a Monday than to start in at 9:20am! Sooo glorious! Had some delicious breakfast, got ourselves ready, then we set out for the aquarium of the smoky's! That was some fun stuff! We took some really rad photo's that I'll be sure to share! After that adventure, we took to the streets of Gatlinburg to see what all we could find! We settled down for some Bennet's BBQ for an early dinner, and boy, was that a treat! It was then time for some relaxing in the indoor pool and hot tub! *sigh* That gave us the energy to get out to try out a pretty sweet putt-putt place! We wrapped up the evening with a movie and lounging! Could it get any better for a Monday!?!? I think not!

Day 3) Tuesday, my husbands birthday! We kept up with "sleeping in" then we got some fuel for the day and got all prettied up and set out to do some shopping since the skies were grey and somewhat angry! We received some showers, but that didn't darken the mood around here! We took it easy, did some more driving around, seeing all we could see and enjoying our time together, just being...together ( : I enjoyed Starbucks 1/2 off Frapps! We had a light, late lunch then came back to the hotel and decided to soak up the sun that came out! We sat out by the pool and rested in the rays. It was time to head back out to see what we could get ourselves into that night! We had so much fun putt-putting, we decided to do it again! Then we went and saw a late night movie at 10:30pm at an outdoor mall, that was so fun!!

Day 4) Now that we're in full swing of sleeping in *cough cough, 10:30am!* By the time we got all ready it was lunch time! Just the way I like it, >smiles< Some grey skies again this morning. We did some more exploring, resting, enjoying, laughing! Taking some fantastic photos! Tried out a cute Mexican place, No Way Jose & then watched the Avengers! 

Good night for now, more to come!
