Gatlinburg here we come

We will leave for Gatlinburg as soon as Jason gets off work which he's been driving through the night so it will probably be Sat afternoon before we get there. We have been going to Gatlinburg for Labor day since Karissa was 4. I love that Joe and Krista come too-it's about a 5 hour drive for them and it works out perfectly since we only get to see them maybe 4 times a year.
We usually hang out at the cabin, swim, enjoy the hot tub, walk downtown Gatlinburg and drive to Cades Coves looking for bear, deer and coyotes. One year we actually saw 4 bear -two of which were cubs!! Our trandition is that we say goodbye to Joe and Krista after a great meal at the Apple Barn. We all can't wait to get there!!
