We are all packed and ready to leave for Tennessee. This year we were able to join my family up in a chalet...Mom and Dad, Brian & Jenny, Jaelyn and Ava, Brian & Rose, Amy, Jessica, Scott and Abby and our family...we will miss Melissa and Kyle.
Day 67 - March 8, 2013
Driving through Ohio, I saw these neat buildings. We stopped in Florence, Kentucky to break up our trip to Tennessee.
Day 68 - March 9, 2013
Mark getting in a game of pool quite quickly after arriving at our chalet in Tennessee. The pool table was quite popular with the young and old of our group.
Day 69 - March 10, 2013
Here is a picture of our lovely chalet in Tennessee...Spacious Skies. I took this picture when we got back from the hike we did on our mountain.
Day 70 - March 11, 2013
A bunch of us coloured this morning. Here is Amy, Abby and I with our big colouring project. In the afternoon we did some shopping as the weather was not that great.
Day 71 - March 12, 2013
This was such a fun day! We started the day by visiting Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies with Brian, Jenny and the girls. We visited the Aquarium four years ago when we went to Tennessee and loved it. Alex and I loved it just as much this time :) After the Aquarium, we checked out the streets of Gatlinburg as we made our way to Ripley's Guinness World Record Museum...Carsten was in his glory as he loves the GWR books. After meeting the rest of the group for a very yummy supper at Ruby Tuesdays, we caught the Comedy Barn Show. The highlight of that might be Brian Roffel getting to be a part of the show. What a fabulously fun day!!!
Day 72 - March 13, 2013
We went on a crazy "car hike". I realized I do not like heights at all and especially when their are no guardrails on the windy, steep mountain paths. There was some very beautiful spots along the hike though.
Day 73 - March 14, 2013
Nascar Speedway!!! What an awesome day! We spent the day go carting from about 11-8:30 with a break for supper at Golden Corral. There was rollercoaster, swings, and kid rides as well. It was seriously such a fun fun day!! We can't wait to do it again someday!!
Day 74 - March 15, 2013
We were hoping to do a car hike and then finish it up with a 1 km hike to Clingman's Dome but unfortunately the road was closed. We stopped at the lookout where the road was closed and explored a bit. Here's a picture that a kind man took of our group. Grandpa, Grandma, Brian, Jenny, Jaelyn and Ava came with us as we went Mini Golfing Friday afternoon. It was a fun course...Ripley's Davy Crockett.
Day 75 - March 16, 2013
We were on our way home and stopped to get some gas before crossing back into Canada. Here is a picture of the Ambassador Bridge...we waited about 30 minutes to cross and then we had about 2 hours to go before getting home. 12.5 hours after leaving Tennessee we arrived home...so thankful for safe travel as we saw a few accidents along the way (van on fire, upside down semi truck).
Day 76 - March 17, 2013
We are back home. I either slept wrong or my body did not like the long car ride...My back is crazy sore. So today was mostly spent on the couch :( Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.
