So, we went to this cabin...

... and Brian almost died. Oh, and we spent the weekend in Gatlinburg! Us, The Baughmans (and Kelsen), Brian, and Becky went out to East Tennessee for a few days to get away from it all. It was quite the experience, since this happened right when we got there:



Poor guy made a valiant effort to back down our insane driveway, but the curve at the end got him. Luckily our tow truck driver had apparently seen this before and yanked the Honda from the brink of death... and Brian from the brink of having to buy a new car. What a way to wake up in the morning!

So we went on to the Gatlinburg Aquarium. Pretty exciting place, full of, well, fish. And sharks. And freakishly huge crabs. And jellyfish that Kelsen wanted to take home.

Our weekend was spent eating way too much, especially on fondue night that did NOT include me singing my eyebrows off (this time). We had a good round of laser tag, Uno, a stressful game of Battle of the Sexes, and a nice stroll through downtown to purchase fudge for Brooke and taffy for me. Kelsen was so good all weekend, too, and I'm pretty sure Brian wanted to take her home on Sunday. She was a pure source of entertainment all weekend long!

Alas, all good things come to an end, and usually quickly. Brooke and I spent Sunday going through Ripley's Believe it or Not and the Moving Theater in downtown before eating at her favorite: The Log Cabin Pancake Shack of Something. I dunno, but it was good old fashioned greasy breakfast! Hopefully we will triumphantly return next year, plus one more Baughman... but next time we'll find a more Brian-friendly driveway.

Namaste!
