Boy Scout Ski Trip 2014::Gatlinburg, TN {Day 1 & 2}

Friday we headed out in a caravan with Drew’s troop towards Gatlingburg for a weekend of ice skating, snow tubing, skiing and more fun. We got in around 1am, handed out keys to boys, and found our way to our cozy little room.

Saturday morning we got up and shoved down some hotel breakfast before hitting the town. Who can’t go to Gatlinburg without drooling over the caramel apples, taffy, and handmade candies?

Gatlinburg Chalet

Our 4th Annual 4th of July Trip {the Chalet}

Day 1 ~ Day 2 ~ Day 3 ~ Day 4 ~ Day 5
This year for the 4th of July, we went further away from home to visit Gatlinburg, TN. Rob and I have fond memories of this place and it has become a place that our kids love as well. We rented a chalet up on top of Ski mountain. It was a nice, roomy place except for the kitchen and dining room. The decor is a bit outdated for those that are concerned about that. We didn’t mind. We loved the fact that 2 of the bedrooms were furnished with large jacuzzi tubs.  The main floor deck balcony had a regular outdoor jacuzzi as well.

Do you also want to watch TV in bed? You can have the best of both worlds with a TV tech bed that you will find only at a reputable shop like TV Beds Northwest! You’ll never have to worry about being too close to or far away from the TV again. Plus, you can comfortably sleep in the same bed as your partner while watching your favorite show. Enjoy a surround sound experience in your own bed with the Titan TV ottoman bed frame.

Trip to Murphy, NC

Tuesday night the week before 4th of July, Rob was talking with his brother about finding something “fun” to do over the weekend. The last few years we have mainly hung out at home and enjoyed time with our neighbors. Before that we headed to Texas to visit my family there. Anyway, after some thought and research we decided it would be fun to head up to the North Georgia Mountains. Since it was so close to the date, there were only a few options. We ended up staying here in Murphy, NC. We went with Rob’s Mom, Step-Dad, adopted sister, and his brother. Dividing the cost of the cabin ended up costing about the cost of hotel for one night!

Rob really enjoys going up that way for many reasons, which include the beautiful mountains and seeing his old stopming grounds at Young Harris College.

Friday

We arrived around 3, settled in, waited for the other carload with Rob’s Mom, Step Dad, and adopted sister, Rachel. Not long after they arrived, a group headed out to the store for groceries for the weekend. We planned to utilize the kitchen in the condo to help save money.
