For the last four years my mom has taken our family on a Christmas vacation in lieu of buying a ton of gifts. Now that we are all grown and spread across the state I am especially appreciative of my mom doing this for us. It is so nice to spend a week with everyone as one big family again.
This year we spent the week after Christmas in Gatlinburg, TN and it was amazing. Mom rented a cabin at the very top of a mountain. The first two days the weather was absolutely perfect. We went exploring outside in shorts and tshirts and spent the majority of our time on the back porch listening to music, relaxing in the hot tub and enjoying the beautiful view. We played cards, danced, ate a ton of good food and half the time didn't even get out of our pajamas. It was the perfect week.
We didn't get out much as we were having way too much fun hanging out at the cabin. But after a couple of days we did venture into town and visit the Ole Smokey Holler. We tasted all the moonshine flavors and Everly loved the music playing in the center of all the shops.
We also went for lunch at Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede, which was incredible. Their Christmas show and the food were so good. I highly recommend it if you're ever in the area. It's a 4-course feast followed by a show featuring music, comedy, live animals & pyrotechnics. Everly sat (almost) the entire time mesmerized by the music and horses.
Thank you Mom for such a fun vacation!
Since we've been home we have officially moved in to our new apartment. I will be updating you all on that progress soon. It's a brand new unit and we are loving our new space. I hope you all have a great week! Thanks for stopping by!
