Back in February, right after we moved back to GA, my mom invited us to Gatlinburg for the weekend with my aunt and some family friends. We went up on a Wednesday and came home on Sunday. It was a really fun weekend, but the start was a little rocky, no pun intended.
Our first stop was Tallulah Point Overlook.
After the overlook we we went on to the super cute country store in Tiger, GA that I love. They have amazing muscadine slushies...they were closed...Wednesday only. And so began the rough start. My mom had this entire path of fun places to stop and everything was closed or shut down or just not feasible. It became humorous but so annoying.
Goats on the Roof was one of the places we wanted to stop but was closed. It's this little store that literally has goats walking all over the roof.
After the goats we stopped at the Dillard House which is a great place to eat but our purpose was to let the kids out of the car for a bit and to pet the animals.
We spent most of the time in the cabin because the weather but we did go to the aquarium. It was a great time of year to visit, and in the middle of the week we were practically alone with the fishes. I was able to let Charlotte out of the stroller to explore.
Of course we also ate...A LOT! One of my favorite places in The Apple Barn. The have apple juleps and apple fritters waiting for you when you arrive. Charlotte must have eaten and drank enough for everyone.
On the way home we stopped at a Chinese buffet where the kids ate a plate full of lychee fruit. Somewhere near the GA/NC border and right before the rain hit, Charlie Grace projected her lychee fruit all over herself and her seat. J and I stood in the rain until our undies were SOAKED cleaning the seat enough to get her home. So while it was a great trip with a funny start the ending was less than perfect.
