V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N in the summer sun!
Anybody know the song in the title?
We spent a week in Pigeon Forge last month, where we rented a cabin in the mountains. God, it was nice up there. Chris's parents went with us, and we brought all three dogs (Sandy, Jack and their dog Misty). Sandy and Misty were fine, but Jack was stressed the whole time. ("This is not my beautiful house...How did I get here?" - once again, know the song?)
I'll have to write about the vacation in a few posts, since I took a lot of pictures and we did a lot of stuff. Especially eat. LOTS of eating. But that's part of the fun of vacation. Not the extra pounds I came home with, but trying delicious new foods and restaurants.
As we were driving around Pigeon Forge that first day, Becca saw a place where you could mine for jewels. She completely obsessed about it and talked about it until we took her there a day or so later. I thought it was going to be a cheesy rip-off, but it turned out to be fun, and the girls and I actually had jewelery made from the stones they found. Grandma also had jewelery made for stones she mined.
Lauren and Becca intently scrutinizing their finds:
Chris getting into the fun:
And Grandma and Pap, too!
I also did some mining, but Chris took those pictures and will eventually put them up.
After that, we took a trip to The Old Mill and wandered around for a while.
More to come!
