Impromptu Vacation

Well, kind of at the last minute, R. decided to take Thursday off and we are heading down to Gatlinburg, Tennessee tomorrow through Sunday. We have been there once before back in October of 2005. We're staying in the same place (a great little place outside of Gatlinburg in the midst of the mountains with rooms that are basically condos), but have different things on our itinerary from last visit.

We loved it there, because there's so much to do. Basically, our plan last time was to hike by day, walk around Gatlinburg by night. It worked out well, though by the end of each day my legs were killing me.

Our plan is virtually the same this time, but we are going to try for some lesser visited areas within the park. And, since we only have a few days, we'll be spending most of our time enjoying the Smokies rather than the museums and entertainment of Gatlinburg (though last time we were surprised at the entertainment value of some of those). I am determined to see sunset and sunrise in the park, so there are definitely some long days ahead of us.

I'm hoping my legs hold out this time.

Anywhoo, I'll be back Sunday/Monday with lots of pictures, hopefully, and lots of fun to relate.
