Our annual vacation with the Hoods led us to Gatlinburg, Tennessee in the Smoky Mountains. Grandma Hood/Gigi is so generous and thoughtful to provide us this time each year. This was our only 'get-away' this summer so we appreciated and enjoyed it that much more!
It's a long drive to Tennessee, so we broke our trip down into two legs. The first led us to Goreville to spend the night with Cole's two uncle-friends! (and Grandpa & Grandma too!)
Day two of our travels were spent resting, watching movies, and being silly. (and cautious driving on Daddy's part!)
Arrival found a wonderful house tucked in a nice resort area...full of..."amenities!"
Cole quickly latched onto his cousin, Peyton. They had so much fun together!
The time we spent there was really HOT! But we got ourselves out and into the heat early to catch some of the sights and shopping.
The skylift was a must....
And, despite my fear of Cole (or me) falling out and to our death...the view was totally amazing and worth the clenching up that my body was doing with anxiety!
We came back 'down' to earth and tried to keep cool while shopping and walking a bit more.
We had lunch at a little seafood restaurant (because even in the landlocked mountains, we were on
vacation!)
The boys had fun...whatever they were doing, they were together and enjoying it. That's what cousins are for, after all!
Thanks to Gigi for this wonderful get-away filled with family, fun, and love!
