We had an incredible time with such wonderful weather and beautiful scenery. We stayed in Pigeon Forge so we were able to experience the whole parkway with the glorious traffic. However, along with that we were able to find some really neat back country roads with interesting sites to see. On Friday we ventured though Gatlinburg to the Smokies for a little bit of site-seeing. It was raining quite a bit when we left but just misting when we got there. 
There were some absolutely beautiful views. I made Aaron pull over a few times (there were stop offs every 100 feet) so I could catch the different scenes. We also did a mini hike before heading back into town. Friday night we ate at this great restaurant called "The Old Mill" It was yummy home-cooking, however WAY too much food for one person to eat. I ordered the porkchop dinner... I did not realize that it came with 2 porkchops, 2 sides, bread, and soup. Goodness we were stuffed. While we were visiting the Smokies we got to do some great stuff like ride the sky lift, walk the strip in Gatlinburg, shop at the largest "As Seen on TV store", eat tons of pancakes, and most importantly spend some quality time together making great memories. Here are some additional pictures from our trip.The yummy old mill restaurant. We were killing some time. The wait time was almost 2 hours. We walked around the whole Old Mill square and then went down the street to a book store before it was close to our turn. Long wait, but worth it.
This is the actual face I made when I saw how much food I had. I told Aaron we should have split....
We went and visited Wonderworks... some indoor attractions place. We were too cheap to pay for the good stuff so we just posed with the paintings on the wall and played in the gift shop.
On Saturday Aaron and I toured the Gatlinburg strip and rode the SkyLift. There was a neat little gift shop up there and some good views of the city and the mountains.
Enjoying some carmel apples on the strip. Not as good as my inlaws' but good enough for the occassion.
Some random shots in the park
