Last month I took a couple days off to go to Gatlinburg, Tennessee with my mom.  We had been planning the trip since last summer I believe… maybe fall.. it has been planned for awhile.  We stayed at the gorgeous BearSkin Lodge.  It was tucked away a little bit from the main drag which was great.  We were able to walk to everything we wanted to in town.  We spent most of our time in the Arts and Crafts community area that is a little further outside of town. I got an amazing Crystalline Vase from a potter.  Those are my favorite vases and I usually grab one when I am in North Carolina every July.  I also got some wooden fruit which is a whole other blog post waiting to happen.

 

Enjoy the pictures from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge

 

 

 

 

 

This is the awesome chairlift that I tried to get my mom to go on.

The song that was playing was Save a Horse ride a Cowboy….

I was able to get my mom to go up the little space needle they had there and got some cool shots at night time and then again during the day. YAY!

 

Some of the amazing shots of the mountains from the space needle.

 

I could take pictures of the mountains all day!   Next, we drove up on the trail through old Gatlinburg.  We saw a black bear!! The next picture has the black bear in it.. Can you see it? Yeah.. he is hiding pretty good. Right after we stopped the car and I got out with the camera he went behind a bunch of trees.

 

Here are some pictures from the trail

 

I am also a rockstar at taking pictures from the passenger seat of the car with the window up 🙂

We got in to some storms coming back up

RAINBOW!

and WINE

 

 

That’s all!
