Last Weekend we took a quick, unplanned trip with my parents to Gatlinburg. Bear and I LOVE Gatlinburg. That's where we were married, and have we've been back many times since. This was the first trip Bear and I have taken back to Tennessee since Nugget has been home.
Being completely honest, I was quite nervous how Nugget would do away from home. In the past he has not been the best little traveler. We have not stayed away from home since last summer, so this was a big step for all of us.
I'm happy to report that Nugget was a great traveler this time around. We had a wonderful weekend with Maemae, Papa, and my niece Sophie.
We didn't really do much sight-seeing while we were down there. We spent most of the time enjoying our cabin and the pool. Bear and I did take Sophie and Nugget to the aquarium on day. Nugget loves fish I thought he would really enjoy the aquarium. He wasn't as thrilled as I thought he would be while we were there. It was very loud and dark inside, and loud is not his thing. Nugget did enjoy the penguins. He liked them so much we came home with two penguin friends.
He are a few pictures of our weekend in the Smokies.
