It's Family Vacation Time!

Our trip to Tennessee is slated to run August 19-27 and should be a great time! We are staying in a "cabin" (really though it's a four-bedroom (all king-size beds), four bathroom, two balcony, hot tub, grill, game room with pool/air hockey table, PS2, rocking chairs on both porches house) with Michelle, Craig, Caitlyn, and Ingrid. The cabin is located in Sevierville which puts us near Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

In Closing,

I didn’t get a chance to finish anything more than Sunday on the way home (and the “Day of Departure” post) so I’ll have to try and finish the rest in the near future before the memories slip, slip away.  The drive was pretty good, after that rough patch the kids mostly slept (just the occasional stirs and rustles) and I got an hour or two of sleep too.  Tom tried to get some sleep while I drove but wasn’t able to nod off so he ended up driving almost the whole way.  I did stay up with him for the last stretch until we made it home a little after 5am.  Tom took Sophie to bed and after some coaxing she finally fell back asleep until they got up a little after 8.  Max however had a bottle and was set to fall asleep when he pooped.  So I figured it probably should change him rather than leave him to stew in his own stink.  After that, sleep was spotty for the both of us so it’s fair to say that I’ll be ready for bed tonight.  All in all, I think it was the right decision leaving when we did; it made it easier on the kids to sleep through until we were home (and thus probably made it easier on us).

Until next time!
