She and I headed to Gatlinburg to catch a seat at our favorite spot. The Melting Pot. If you haven't had the experience, I highly recommend it. It is delicious and fun and such a wonderful atmosphere. After dinner, we got back to a hot tub and chilled glass of wine. That same hot tub got a work out from us. We used it all day long on Friday. It was so relaxing and quiet and beautiful where we were. A nap and a bite to eat from Firehouse Subs(DELICIOUS) and a couple of hours later we were greeted by the rest of our crew. And boy we were all glad to see one another!
The next day the weather channel called for nothing but rain. Well, they were nothing but wrong. Two little girls fished and swung and roasted marshmallows all day long. It was so much fun. To do nothing. No phones, no Internet. Just us and mother nature. And all the love and spoiling they could handle!
One little girl really loved fishing. She would have stayed out there all day long. Pop's had her handling and throwing her own fish back in by the end of the day.
We ended our weekend with a trip to Dixie Stampede. No photos allowed in there, but I can assure you, smiles were plenty and the food was tasty.
And NO vacation is complete without some middle of the day just cause you can dancing. I laughed so hard and it felt so good.
It went by too quickly really. But all the fun stuff does. I have missed my dear friend. This was time I really needed. It is what I would like to call getting the best of both worlds. Mandi and Pop's are not only dear to Andy and I, but they keep a special place in the Bean and Bear's hearts as well! Thank you for a wonderful weekend and for all the love you bring to our lives!
Happy Week!
