Tennessee vacation

 My sister and I took the kids on a little 4-day adventure over Kristin's spring break.  We stayed in a mountain condo near Gatlinburg, and we had a blast exploring the Great Smoky Mountains.  Our favorite activity was hiking in the national park, and the kids truly loved it.  On one of the hikes, Carlton was literally running up steep trails belting out hymns at the top of his lungs.

 

 One day we took a sky trolley/cable car up the mountain near town and got to check out some local animals at the mini-zoo on top.

 

 A couple of shots from a fun Mexican restaurant we ate at one night,

 and a couple from walking around the main drag in town.

 

Finally, one of the most joyous moments for the kids was running around a gigantic open field near our condo one evening after dinner..... so easily entertained, I love it!

 It was a wonderful getaway, and Kristin earned some major awesome-aunt points! :)
