Trip Update

Ok, I will try to update you guys on the events of our trip. There won't be any pictures right now as the internet connection is really slow.

Tuesday
On Tuesday we really just hung out. We watched TV, swam in the pool, and Mom, Mimi, and I went grocery shopping. We also saw a program at the "Clubhouse" about exotic birds. The kids (and Dad) got to hold the birds. Becca also got a little present from one of them...:S

Wednesday
On Wednesday morning we drove to Asheville, NC to see the Biltmore Estate. It is ENORMOUS! We only saw a minuscule portion of the 255 rooms, yet it took 2 hours to view.

Thursday
This morning we went up into the Smoky Mountain National Park. We walked a couple small "trails". (don't let Gabe be the trail guide) We took off after an "amazing view", only to find it was a little rabbit trail through the weeds and trees. After lunch, we went on a 2.6 mile round trip trail. At the end was a quaint waterfall that cascaded down the mountainside. The walk seemed like it went on FOREVER! But I think it was about 1 1/2 hour trip. Now we are back at the cabin waiting on dinner than I believe we will go do something else.

We will be heading back home tomorrow, staying the night in Paducah KY. We should be home Saturday sometime. Its flown by pretty fast, but I'm ready to have my own bed and our water. The tap here is very...interesting. Anyway, TTYL!
