Good Monday morning from Tennessee! Whereas I want I may inform you we might have been at that Alabama/Tennessee recreation (how loopy was that?!), we simply received to Gatlinburg yesterday. David and I made it again from Annapolis Friday late afternoon in time to look at Hailey (and Kaitlyn, as she subbed in!) at soccer. Then we grabbed Chinese language takeout to carry dwelling and eat.
Saturday we had been again on the soccer fields, then joined pals at BoatYard LKN for some nachos, wine, and watching the Michigan/Penn State recreation. Over the past 5 days I’ve been consuming so much, having fun with a variety of libations, not shifting all that a lot, and although it’s been enjoyable, I’m beginning to really feel it.
That’s been a benefit of getting higher at listening to my physique through the years; I’ve discovered it’s fairly darn clear after I’ve had sufficient indulgences and it’s able to steer me again towards a greater steadiness.
Understanding we had been heading to The Overlook, we received up on Sunday and knocked out an early morning exercise. I knew I wouldn’t be cooking a lot on this journey, as our days are scheduled with enjoyable. We’re going to Dollywood, on some hikes in Nice Smoky Mountain Nationwide Park, possibly a museum or two, and naturally discovering all over the place we are able to to absorb the views of the altering leaves! Most occasions we’ve visited, it’s been to work on tasks, so whereas we’ll be doing a little bit of that, this journey we promised the children we’d try the enjoyable that the world has to supply.
I’m not going to be cooking a lot, however nonetheless needed some more healthy choices to have round. I ran by Costco and Publix to seize just a few issues to carry with us- able to bake salmon, bagged salads, yogurt, fruit, pistachios, cottage cheese, eggs, and kombucha.
We received right here yesterday late afternoon and had probably the most stress-free night. I baked the salmon (and a lasagna for the children). We performed ping pong and the children received actually into the arcade recreation (it has one thing like 3,000 old skool video video games on it), and went on a stroll to absorb the views. I’m wanting ahead to sharing our adventures with you, and when you have a favourite restaurant or exercise within the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge space, please share. We loved attending to discover The Sky Carry Park on our final go to.
And should you’d like to go to the Smokies your self, try Candy Dwelling Bearolina, for the quiet aspect of the Smokies and lengthy vary views, or The Overlook, to be proper within the motion of Gatlinburg and again as much as the nationwide park.
