This weekend was incredibly cool. On Saturday, Dan, Max and I pretty much hung out, drank, and watched zombie movies all day. Sunday night was Dan’s Boomsday party. Dan has an apartment right on the river now, so all we had to do was go to parking lot and we’d have a great spot. Instead, we chose to have THE GREATEST SPOT EVER and hung out on the balcony of an abandoned apartment building to watch the fireworks there.

Looked like the Apartment was on Fire
The next day we went to Gatlinburg to hike up Chimney Tops. The weather was perfect, and the hike was beautiful.
This is our rock

At the top of the world
A really nice photographer passed by us and took this for us so we could all be in the shot.
We didn't quite make it to the very top. Something about making Max (who is afraid of heights), me (out of shape) and Dan and Ashlie (shoes with no treads on) climb up a 80 degree sheer rock face seemed like a bad idea. We made it 999/1000 of the way though, so I consider it climbed. Dan and I decided to plan a two day hike sometime around December. I’m forcing myself into shape to prepare for it!
