Graduation/Birthday/WelcomeHome VACATION!!

This week Jon and I took off to Pigeon Forge Tennessee! We rented an AMAZING cabin in the mountains and spent the week relaxing and site seeing!!! It was so wonderful!!!

Here are some pics of our cabin

About 15 minutes from our cabin was a little town called Gatlinburg. It was a total tourist town, but it was PERFECT for us! On my birthday we decided to drive up there and go to the Ripleys Believe it or Not Aquarium! When we got there, we found out they give military personnel a 90% discount so we were able to go to all 5 Ripleys Museums! The Aquarium was by far our favorite, but all of them were neat to see. We were able to go to Ripleys Mirror Maze, the actual Ripleys Believe it or Not Museum, the Moving Museum [which was so painful! we got whiplash, the breath knocked out of us, and walked out of there totally nauseated, but we survived!] We also got to go to the Guinness World Record Museum. We had tickets to 2 putt putt places and the Ripleys Haunted House, but we didn't have time to putt putt, and the Haunted House just wasn't our type of fun...

but here are some pics from those outings!!!!

See the Shark!?!?

A crazy Spider Crab!!!

Birthday Dinner!


Overall this was just the perfect trip for us! We had an absolute blast! We are now home, mostly refreshed, and ready to start back to the real world!! Jon starts his ALS class on the 19th, and I head back to work here soon too!!! [But as a nurse now!!! :)] But until then, we are taking full advantage of our days off!!!!
