Thanksgiving Memories

We had a wonderful time in Gatlinburg, Tennessee over the Thanksgiving weekend.  We rented a cabin with one of our best friends from Ohio and her girls. It was a relaxing weekend filled with good food, good friends and plenty of laughs.   It was warm enough to eat our Thanksgiving dinner on our deck overlooking the woods behind the cabin.   Heather and I enjoyed going to the outlet malls at midnight on Thanksgiving and shopped until 4 a.m. We hiked to Laurel Falls in the Smoky Mtn. National Forest on Friday and rode the trolley to the aquarium and downtown Gatlinburg on Saturday.  The girls had the best time playing with their friends that they only get to see about twice a year.  We headed home on Sunday with the rest of the United States.  Our three hour trip became about five and half hours but we didn't mind and plan on doing it all over again next Thanksgiving.
