Our Honeymoon...

We just got back from our honeymoon, we had so much fun!! Marcus and I went to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and got a sweet little cabin in the mountains. We struggled a bit when it came time to pick a honeymoon location. My first idea was BEACH! I wanted to do a couples resort in the Caribbean somewhere...and then we got to looking at prices, which were a bit too high for us. The next idea was a cruise, but Marcus has never been on one and I could tell he didn't seem too thrilled about it. Then one day I was talking to my coworkers about cruises and fun vacations, and they mentioned Asheville or the mountains and how pretty it was. When I mentioned it to Marcus, his face lit up. I knew that we had to find something up there. I would still get some sun, and we could still do some outdoorsy stuff that I wanted to do on a cruise.

We chose Pigeon Forge, as Marcus had been there before and really liked it. We drove up to my sisters, who lives in North Georgia, on Thursday, and Friday morning we continued our trek to Tennessee. Along the way we saw some beautiful views in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park.

 Our first day there we enjoyed the Dixie Stampede, and then the next day we went to Dollywood Splash Park super cheap because of a chance run in with a Dollywood employee who gave us tickets for 10 dollars (normally 50 a piece!). We also went to a pretty little winery, explored the Forbidden Caverns, and kayaked down the river (SO FUN!). It was so beautiful in the mountains, we cannot wait to go back. Seriously, we are considering moving to North Georgia to be in all their glory. I am SO, SO glad we chose to go to the mountains instead of the beach, especially since we live so close to the beach anyway!
