Spring Break 2019- Great Smoky Mountains (Part 1)

For spring break this year, we headed to Gatlinburg with three other families. We stayed in a 6 bedroom house with an indoor pool, game room and movie room. The kids were so excited!!

On the way to Gatlinburg we made a stop at Clancy's Tavern in Knoxville. It was St. Patrick's day and a big UT game.


After the game we headed towards the cabin. The cabin was brand new!

We made hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner after we arrived.  The kids had a blast playing in the pool. 

The next day we played in the pool for a little. The kids were having a blast with the basketball goal.





Sweet little Caitie had fun too


In the afternoon we headed to Anakeesta. It was a gorgeous day outside. It was a little cold, but the sun was shining bright and we were all pretty comfortable.

On the way up there we rode the chair lift and were all pretty terrified afterwards. The bar to ride up there is very flimsy and a child could easily just slip out since there are no seat belts. It also rocks a good bit, so you really have to be careful since the bar doesn't lock. I rode with boys and Michael rode with Caitie. Conor was moving around like crazy and it was making me pretty nervous.

When we arrived we headed to get a late lunch. We ate at the barbecue truck and it was really good.


The views during lunch were gorgeous!



The parents got some beverages and then we headed to the play area for the kids. They had a blast and played for about an hour.


After playing on the playground we headed towards the hanging bridges.





On the way back, Caitie and I rode in the covered gondola and the boys rode in the chair lift. Made me a nervous wreck watching them!


On our third day we headed to Crave golf course to play some mini golf. The kids asked to play both the indoor and outdoor courses. So they ended up playing 36 holes. We also played some mini bowling. It was fun!




After mini golf we went for a little hike. This hike is perfect for kids and we love to just take it slow and throw rocks in the creek.

Just for fun, here is a look back at last year in the same spot
