David and I took our first overnight trip, just the two of us, since we became parents...over 4 years and 9 months ago!!! We have taken several wonderful trips WITH the kids in the past almost 5 years, but never one by ourselves since they were born. This trip was FANTASTIC! We were both ready for this getaway, as were the kids. Now that Josiah is 3 years old and Mackenzie is 4 3/4 years, we knew they would be just fine without us for a little while. They totally loved one-on-one time with Nona and Mzee, and we did not worry at all about our kiddos. We knew they were in good hands.
Here's a view from the balcony of our room in Pigeon Forge. My favorite part of the view is the man standing there... ;) You'll notice Mt. Leconte in the background, too. It really is nice to live in easy driving distance of the Mountains.
Here's the river view from our balcony. We stayed at The Music Road Hotel. Very nice place! Our room was great, and we really enjoyed the lazy river, water slide, and pool areas, too. I highly recommend this hotel if you're ever in that area! We loved our 24 hour getaway. Thanks, Mom and Mark, for taking the utmost care of our children while allowing us some time away.
