mini vacation

Last Thursday our whole family went on a mini vacation. We have not been anywhere in 4 years. We had the best time. Thursday afternoon we left Chattanooga with my parents to meet my sister Jamie and her family in Pigeon Forge. We arrived about 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon. We stayed at a wonderful motel that Alisha Doolittle recommended. I had not seen my sister since Christmas. We ended up being right next door to each other. After putting every thing in the room we set out for Dolly wood. My sister and her family had paid for a year's membership. So as a part of this Jamie gave us free tickets to Dolly wood. We arrived at Dolly wood in the rain. Nobody was there so we all got ride on the rides with no waiting in line. We stayed for two hours and then went to get something to eat. We ate at a little diner called Mel's Diner. The food was okay. After we all went to the motel, we took the kids swimming. It was so fun. It had an indoor heated pool. The next day we got up early and ate breakfast. We then went to Dolly wood again all day. The lines were a little longer but not to bad. We then headed home. Thanks Jamie and Anthony for a wonderful vacation. We all needed the much needed rest.
