Our vacation is over and we are all sad it was hard to go back to work after all the fun we had. Gatlinburg was beautiful all the leaves were changing and the temperature was just right, warm during the day and chilly at night. Our first night at the resort while standing on the porch we got to see a black bear walking across the back yard. That was a wild experience I've never seen one in it's natural habitat, I'm glad though we were on the second floor. Every night we would see 2 or 3 skunks wondering around the back yard looking for food. I never realized how big skunks actually are.
Crystal had her first Hard Rock Cafe experience and loved it! I love the food at Hard Rock! We visited Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, the Knoxville Zoo and at the end of the week we drove to Chattanooga where we went through Ruby Falls. If you have never been to Ruby Falls it is beautiful, it was our first time to visit and I have never seen anything like it.
I took nearly 300 pictures, but don't worry I'm not going to post all of them. It was hard though to choose which ones to show you because they were all so good. Crystal said it best the other day, "we captured lots of memories" each picture took us right back to the moment it happened.
