Trippin' To Tennessee

Well, the last two days have been a blur - totally unplanned, but a bunch of fun.

Sunday night, we received an invitation to travel with my parents to Pigeon Forge, TN for a quick shopping trip. Because hubby was off work anyway, and we did have some Christmas shopping yet to do, we accepted, packed our bags and set off early Monday morning for the mountains of TN. Despite a harrowing trip to get there (we took a "scenic" route, that this "scared of heights" writer - HATED!) we ended up in Pigeon Forge on Monday afternoon and the shopping spree began!

We were able to get a few things accomplished, so there are just a few more items on my gift list. Yipee! We were also able to snag a few pictures of our girl, trying to climb like a black bear and getting giddy at the manger scene. The manger scene, by the way, is outside of the greatest store known to mankind (well, womankind anyway) THE SCRAPBOOK SUPERSTORE! It is paradise to a scrapper like me.... I managed a few moments in the store -- ahh... almost heaven!

All in all, it was a good trip. Very quick and I am sure that Hannah did not much fun - outlet malls and three year olds really do not mix! She even missed the lights of the season at Gatlinburg because she was so worn out from being dragged from store to store. We will make it up to her - we promised to bring her back, when she is a tad bit older to enjoy the fun places we missed this trip!

Merry, Merry!

Oh -and just for the information sake of it all -- this is my 60th post! Now, your day is complete! :-)
