Every year we go on some type of vacation. Whether it be a small vacation or a big one. This year they have decide that we are going to Gatlinburg. Apparently, there are cool things to do around in that area.
There are quite a bit of people that are going on this trip. My family, my aunt, my uncle, and four of my cousins (two of which are babies). We are all staying in a condo together. Every family gets a room except for me and my sister. Were stuck on the couch and a blow up mattress. We are leaving this Friday. We will get up and be out of the door on the road by eight o'clock. It will take about eight hours to get there. So we will arrive (If we're lucky) around four, giving us some room for stops, for gas and restrooms.
The way that my parents are talking, it should be a pretty cool trip. Some of us are planning on going rafting one of the days that we are there. I have never been rafting but I have heard good stories and bad stories about the whole rafting thing. On another day we are going to go to Dollywood. They have several parks in Dollywood so we may do different ones on different days. There are several different museums that are around in the area of Gatlinburg. We planned on doing a couple of those. There is one that is called Ripley's Museum and Aquarium that we are going to do. There are a lot of other things to do down there but, we will just plan the rest when we get down there.
The important thing that were going to do is just relax and enjoy time away from the hometown. I'm sure we're going to have a blast while on this trip. I'm not exactly excited about it at the moment but I'm sure when we get done driving and start doing stuff down there I will have a great time. School is almost here, I'm going to enjoy the time that I have free from constant studying and doing worksheets.
Going to Gatlinburg sounds like it would be a really cool trip! I've never been but I've heard great things about it. It sounds like you will have a lot of fun up there. Museums are always fun and interesting to go to. I bet they will all be neat. The aquarium also sounds like it would be a neat experience. I have never been to Dollywood but I've always heard that it is really fun. I've always wanted to go there. I hope you have a great time and a safe trip and enjoy the rest of your summer vacation! -Ambria Curtis
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO RAFTING!!! That is on my bucket list, lol. I also love museums. I love history because I like knowing what has happened in the past and everything else. Sounds like I need to go to Gatlinburg because this would be awesome. On the downside, it would suck to have to sleep on a blowup mattress. This is a very informative blog. I hope your trip is fun because school is right around the corner!!!!! -Angel Cash
ReplyDeleteHey wes!! I miss you and I'm ready to see you!
ReplyDeleteWe also went to gatlinburg this summer. It was very pretty and a whole lot of fun. We went to this place called Ober Gatlinburg and went ice skating. We also rode this bug air team to get to the top of the Moutain, which was pretty scary. We then rode this big chair lift, which was also quite scary. We ate a lot of good food and also rode this roller coaster that went through the woods. We should go together sometime!!!

Wesley, rafting sounds so cool !!!! What type of museums were there besides the Ripley's museum and Aquarium museum? Were they historical or artistic museums? Your car ride seemed packed full of people, also the condo. I don't think it's very fair you and your sister always have to sleep on the couch and or blow up mattress. I think you guys should get your own rooms just like every one else does. I'm glad you tried new things like rafting while you were out in a new place. New Adventures usually make the best stories! I do hope , though ,you had a fun trip in Gatlinburg, Tennessee -whitney
