Valentine's Day in the Smokies!

So I've never really been a fan of the Smoky Mountains and going to Gatlinburg. Even as a kid when my parents would take me, I'd kind of scoff at the idea of going because it was just cheesy and Dollywood wasn't fun because they didn't have enough rollercoasters... it just seemed too.... family oriented haha But I can officially say that without a doubt I am looking SO forward to this weekend and going with Mike! We booked our hotel (or Mountain Lodge, I guess I should say haha) this morning and I'm in the clear for not having to go to class on Monday (our Print 2 teacher is SO cool. He's so lax with the attendance as long as we get stuff done. It's nice to be treated like an adult at school!) Yay! I'm still going to work Saturday night and then we're leaving super super early Sunday. We're going to drive over (its a 4 hour drive) and all that jazz. We're going to try to hit the Aquarium, Ripley's Museum, and Guinness World Records Museum. Maybe go somewhere for dinner, and check into our ~lodge which has a jacczzi in OUR ROOM! and its bigger than the one in my bathroom! SCORE! It's very... quaint. So its not like super ritzy, but I am SO excited! Yay! Look!









and a few of the Gatlinburg area! I hope we get to go on a cable car lift! I doubt we'll have time BUT MAYYYBEEE!





yay! What are you doing to celebrate Valentine's Day this year? Even if you're solo, I say you dress up and do something fun! :D

  1. Stayed at the Lodge before... it is awesommeeeee! And you will be driving through my town to get there :) (Knoxvilllleeee!) Just be sure to dress WARMLY. I'm about to die it's so cold. Whatever it says the high will be, make sure you subtract like 5 to 10 degrees, no joke!

    BUT for V-day Loren has been bugging me about watching Star Wars so I'm going to buy like ALL of the episodes and watch them with him. PLUS the 15th is his birthday so I'm probably baking a cheesecake and maybe dinner :)

  3. Wow! Go you guys! I have no idea what i am doing for Valentine's. it falls on a sunday so we're both on the youth group on Sunday evening. We can't even do anything Friday or Saturday through a massive lack of playing :(

  4. Sunday I'm taking myself to a favorite Austin coffee shop, Mozarts, where I plan to drink gallons of white chocolate hot cocoa and read Doctor Zhivago to my heart's content :)

  5. That place looks so cute! I hope it's a lot of fun! On the 13th, it'll be the seven year anniversary of when Jairo and I met, and on Valentine's Day it'll be the one year anniversary of when Jairo proposed to me. :) But on Valentine's Day I'm actually going to be working a double shift... so on Friday we're just going to rent a few movies and snuggle up with our little Bowie.

  7. Ahhh, I've been to this area so many times with friends and family and the cheesiness never gets old. I love it! Have fun! I'm also obsessed with marine life, so I'm definitely jealous that you're going to the aquarium.

  8. Beautiful! Sounds like a great time- for Valentines Day we're going out to our local art gallery, then for some fancy Indian food and then are coming home to drink wine and watch Wes Anderson movies. It's official, it's love =)
