Before we got to the mountains, we decided to stop at Mammoth Cave National Park to check out a cave! Andy had never been inside a cave before, and it wasn't too far out of the way to stop. The cave was pretty awesome, and the best part was the ending where we got to see lots of different stalactites and stalagmites.
Then it was on the road again to get to our cabin. We might have taken the very scenic way to get there- which reminds me of another scenic trip we took when we visited Yellowstone 8 years ago.... We got to the cabin just in time to see the stunning views we would be soaking up for the next four days. And trust me, we did lots of soaking up those views.
Our time in the Smokies included a home cooked meal, ziplining for the boys and winery visiting for mom and I (don't worry, I didn't partake in the wine or the moonshine). We talked about driving through Cade's Cove, but at the last minute decided against it. We still stopped for the typical photo op. While we were there, we walked down to a nearby creek and took a few more pictures and enjoyed the cool water.
Sunday morning we did an escape room in Pigeon Forge- and we all loved it! The only one of our group that had done one before was Eric, so it was a brand new experience for the rest of us. We escaped with about 13 minutes left to spare and decided that it was something we would definitely do again.
And did I mention that view?
We were all sad to leave Monday morning, but the memories made will last us a lifetime, or at least until Andy comes back to visit!
