TENNESSEE!!

So, like I mentioned before, Brian booked a hostel in Tennessee for my birthday!!

The original plan was to just take Aaralyn (she's still exclusively breastfed so she can't be left with anyone) and my mom was going to watch Kayelynn. 

That wasn't going to work out, so then my brother was going to come with us, and he was going to watch the girl's while Brian and I went out and did stuff. My brother ended up getting called in for two different interviews, so we ended up just deciding to take Kayelynn with us.  

We had a blast. 

Brian drove the whole way there. We left at 10, and stopped around one so I could feed Aaralyn. (And so we could all go pee!)

Stretching their legs.

We got back on the road, and arrived at or hotel around 3:30pm.

We went to the go-carts, and then went and had dinner at some buffet. Then we had to go to Wal-Mart to get a few things. We also go bathing suits because our hotel had a pool. Went back and went swimming! Oh my gosh, the girls loved swimming so much!

Then it was time to go to bed because we wanted to get up early. 

WORST.NIGHTS.SLEEP.EVER.

Aaralyn didn't want to sleep because she was somewhere new. The pillows were SO thick and fluffy that I used a baby blanket and Brian used a towel to sleep on. We woke up at 8ish and ate breakfast at the hotel.

We went to the Titanic and WonderWorks. We also did a little shopping ans drove around sight seeing. Saturday night we also went to Ripley's Aquarium.

We also went to Walmart and bought pillows. We slept amazingly that night! Lol.

Sunday we woke up early and had breakfast at a breakfast place. 

Kayelynn was mad because we were leaving.

We then had to go back to the hotel and pack and load up the car before 11AM.

Then we went to Gatlinburg and walked around.

We went to the Mirror Maze, a ton of shops, and we also did the Skylift. (Kayelynn BEGGED. I was scared even though I've done it before. I hate it. Lol.) There aren't allowed to be four people to a chair, even if one is a baby, so Brian and Kayelynn went together and Aaralyn and I rode together.

AT THE TOP

 After the Skylift it was time to leave. It was 6:30 by this time. We were all sun-burnt (it was 70 degrees on Sunday.) I drove the whole way home. We had to stop around 8:30 PM to eat and so I could feed Aaralyn. We went through a HUGH freaking blizzard. Lol. I could hardly see out the window. It sucked to go from 70 degrees to freezing. We had to stop for gas, but ended up making it home right around midnight. 

We had a blast, and can't wait to go again. Next time it will be better planned out though, and we will be taking all the kids. I can't wait!!
