Smokey Mountain Getaway

Setting: Gatlinburg, TN.
Characters: Eric (Papa Bear); Michelle (Mama Bear); Everett (Baby Bear); Gail (Everett's Gigi and the wisest of all the bears!)
Plot: After one crazy summer, Eric and I thought we definitely needed a vacation! Fortunately, we were blessed to be able to spend a week in a beautiful cabin in the Smokey Mountains. We were also blessed to have Eric's mom, also known as Gigi, to accompany us on our adventure. We watched the Olympics on a big screen, played pool, ate barbeque, went on a bear hunt, walked around downtown Gatlinburg, and did plenty of relaxing! On Wednesday, Eric and I enjoyed a breakfast date followed by some great outlet shopping (thanks Gigi for the babysitting!). One of the highlights of our trip was seeing a Mama bear with her cubs (from the safety of our car) right outside our cabin. Such a fun vacation and I look forward to many more.

Don't feed the bears!
