It's a little chilly!!

Hi,
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I'm sure you ate way too much turkey, mashed potatoes and don't forget the desserts. I don't think you can have a good holiday unless you over indulge in something good.

Gatlinburg was a lot of fun. It was very crowded though. When we got there on Thursday it took a long time for us to get from Pigeon Forge through Gatlinburg to the Inn we were staying in. The traffic was bumper to bumper and the streets were loaded with people. Shortly after we arrived at the Inn, dad got there. After we unpacked we walked down to the main street in Gatlinburg and did some touring. There are so many shops and great things to check out. We rode a sky lift to the top of the mountain which was just beautiful once you got up there. Bobby and Benita arrived about 7:30pm then we all went out to dinner at Calhouns. Very good food...

The next day we spent the day just touring around Gatlinburg. There is so much to see there. I loved going down the side streets to what they have set up as little villages. They are brick lined streets with little shops everywhere. It's was fun to turn a corner and the excitement of what you may see. We visited the Aquarium which is always nice. For dinner we went to Maxwells and Maria & Mike joined us. The food there was also very good.

The Inn we stayed in was wonderful. We rented out the whole Inn, which has 6 bedrooms. It was great to have the place all to ourselves. The owner stayed long enough on Thursday to show us around then she left and didn't come back until Friday morning. She made a Continental breakfast for us and gave us fresh towels. We enjoyed being there alone and having full run of the place.

I will post some pictures as soon as I can. Take care.
