Gatlinburg Day #1

Cousins

Can you tell she didn't get to sleep until late?
















The winery

The Titanic museum. We didn't go this trip because we didn't think that Emma would enjoy it too much. Maybe next time. But thankfully nobody minded we stop so that I could get pictures from the outside.




We were able to meet Kurt, Jennifer and Haley in Gatlinburg for a quick weekend trip. We arrived late Friday evening and stayed through Sunday morning.
On Saturday we took a "small" hike to an observation tower. Emma very quickly wrapped her Uncle Kurt around her little finger, and next thing we knew, he was carrying her on his shoulders both up and down. The view from the observation tower was not very good because it was quite foggy, but it was still neat to see. After the hike, we went for lunch at the Applewood Winery. They had a Christmas shop, grill, and a winery area. The girls seem to really enjoy the Christmas shop and all the decorations. Then we were off to play mini golf. Emma had never played before, so we weren't sure how this was going to play out. But overall, she did extremely well! She enjoyed playing and didn't whack the ball very hard too often. By the time we were all finished, everybody was pretty worn out, so we headed back to the condos to crash for the evening.
