I have been putting off this post b/c I haven't put my pictures on my computer...and I still haven't. But it's 2 am and I'm bored out of my mind so I figured I'd go ahead and post and will add the pictures later.
I worked Mond-Wedn as usual! I came home Thursday morning cleaned up the house, did some laundry, and a few other things and went to bed. Alan called when he was on his way home from work and I got up and started packing. Once he got home, we headed out to Gatlinburg!!! We left a lot later than I had hoped so we just grabbed something quick to eat and drove. We got to our room around 9pm. This is the 1st time that Alan booked the room by himself and he did a great job. We were both tired and so we just kinda watched some TV and went to bed. We got up early Friday, bundled up, ate breakfast, and then headed to Ober Gatlinburg to try snowboarding for the 2nd time. We hoped that since it was Friday and we got there when they opened that it wouldn't be too crowded, but we were wrong. There were people everywhere!
After we finally made it outside and got our boards on we kinda just stood around a bit, both a little scared...I think. After we watched plenty of people fall we finally went down the smallest hill. We both did ok and decided to go up a level. We both did so much better than last time and we really enjoyed it a lot more! Of course, we both fell plenty of times and we still can't really do much without falling but we are learning and excited to go back sometime...hopefully soon. We are thinking that we may buy boards soon.
After 1/2 day of snowboarding we went back to our hotel, changed clothes, and went to eat. We ate at 5 guys for the 1st time and it was DELISH! I had a cheeseburger with bacon on it and we split some cajun fries. I wasn't crazy about the fries but Alan loved them. After lunch we went shopping at the outlets. I got Logan tons of new clothes and picked up a few shirts for me. We went to the Oakley store and Alan ended up getting a new outfit for snowboarding!
After shopping we went back to the room, I napped and he watched TV then we got up and went to TJI Fridays for dinner. We don't have a TJI Fridays in Cookeville and I love their Jack Daniels Chicken and Shrimp and their Brownie Obsession, so every time we are in a city with a TGI Fridays, we eat there if I have anything to do with it!
Saturday morning we checked out and went to Knoxville to do a little shopping and then went to Logan's ballgame. He's still pretty clueless about what's going on so it's very entertaining to watch him play. After the game we went to the house to spend some time with the family, I also had to take Logan all of his new clothes, which BTW, he could care less about.
Overall it was a great weekend and I can't wait to snowboarding again. I just love getaways with the boyfriend!!!
