So we had planned to take a quick trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, after Christmas. Long story short, we bumped the trip out twice, and ended up driving up last Friday and staying through Tuesday. (Skip flew out of Knoxville for work Monday.)
On our last trip, the girls' favorite activities were the pool and water slides. We explained, ad nauseum, that, because this trip is occurring during the winter months, there would be no swimming opportunities. We were blunt: the pool will be CLOSED. Still, they were outraged that our view from the balcony was the covered pool:
I know how they felt because it is precisely how I feel when my favorite lipstick has been discontinued. It is one of life's great injustices.
Since swimming was not on the table, they turned to more creative ways to amuse themselves. They climbed atop statues (see top photo) and tried to go joy-riding in a "borrowed" car:
There may or may not have been some bear wrestling:
In reality, these photos were taken last Saturday, while we were strolling through town. It was a stunning day, and we packed in a full morning, ate a fabulous lunch and spent the early afternoon leisurely walking back to our room.
