Spring Break this year was spent at the foothills of The Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee, just outside of Gatlinburg. We avoided the "tourist" areas of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge (except for one night at the Dixie Stampede). Mostly, we spent time in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. Breathtakingly beautful. Very relaxing.
Would have loved to stay another week...

Our log cabin...
The view from right outside our cabin...
Nothing better than hanging in the jacuzzi, watching TV...
Wating to saddle up for a ride in the mountains...
Thrilled, isn't he?
Our most experienced rider...
Molly got to ride a horse named "Cadillac"
Jackie-boy on "Pumpkin". Half way through the ride, Jack's saddle slid off. No harm done...whew!
Out on the trail
Dinner at Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede (Dolly wasn't there)...
...so we settled for a picture with one of the "Cowgirls".
Grey shirt, blue hat. North or South? Hmmmm!
One day of shopping never hurt anyone...especially when the boys didn't have to go :-)
