VACATION PICS
MommyToAshley wrote: Here's some pics from our Gatlinburg vacation... just remember, you asked. 
We took over 400 pictures, so I tried to narrow it down. There were some amazing views so it was really hard to pick which pictures to post.
This is what the front of our cabin looked like
The view from the deck was amazing
View from the top floor
Another view from the deck, later in the day
The Old Mill and Store
MIL with Ashley in front of the fireplace. (MIL and FIL went with us, which was nice because they watched Ashley so Rod and I could have some alone time)
Ashley with the conductor, after riding the Dollywood Express
Ashley on a few rides. (Dollywood was her fav part of the vacation)
MommyToAshley replied: Ashley again
Rod on the bumper cars. Ashley rode with me in the car and she had a blast bumping into Daddy.
Ashley and Papal on the deck
Ashley checking out the view
We rode the cable car up to Ober Gatlinburg
This is a cabin that is an exact replica of the Barbie House
We went to see the bears at the top of Ober Gatlinburg.
Rod, Ashley and myself… I know I look aweful, this was at the end of a long day.
MommyToAshley replied: I love this picture of Ashley. It was the Harvest Festival in Gatlinburg so they had all kinds of fall decorations everywhere. It was so pretty.
The view from our cabin at sunrise… DH and I watched the sun come up together. 
There were a few small waterfalls, but most of the larger falls were 5mile hikes.
Our bedroom had a Jacuzzi and fireplace. Ashley loved the Jacuzzi and the hottub on the deck..
Maddie&EthansMom replied: What a beautiful place!!! Looks like you guys had a GREAT time! 
MommyToAshley replied: We took the ski lift up even higher on the mountain at Ober Gatlinburg
On the way down, we saw lots of wildlife, including a deer on the path
Closer view of our friend
Ashley and Mamal making breakfast in the morning

Ashley planning for her future career
This is Ashley petting the horses after the Dixie Stampeed dinner show. The show was amazing… one my favorite things from vacation.
We went into the Great Smoky National Park (Ashley by sign)
The views from there were amazing ... if you had time for another 400 scenic pictures, I'd show them to you.

My3LilMonkeys replied: Beautiful pics!!
BAC'sMom replied: Beautiful pictures! TFS!
A&A'smommy replied: awesome pictures!!! Ya'll are such a cute family its no wonder Ashley is such a gorgeous little thing!!!
BTW isn't that ski lift awesome I wanna go back!!
punkeemunkee'smom replied: I love Tennessee! Those are spectacular pictures! What a beautiful cabin! I love the picture of Ashley with the pumpkins-it is so sweet to catch them when they still have some of that baby look left! I love pics of Tay where I can still see how little she really is because she seems so grown up sometimes in pictures
MommyToAshley replied:
I never really thought about it, but I think that is why I like this picture so much. In so many of Ashley's pics, she looks so grown up. But, she still has a little of that baby look in this one.
I am jealous of those of you that get to look at that kind of view every day. I might become your neighbor soon... I miss it already!
mom2my2cuties replied:
Our neighbors house is for sale - and you would only be 10 minutes from Keith Urban's Nashville home
lisar replied: That looks like a really nice place to go. I love the view. I wanna go now just to see the view.

Love the picture of the 3 of you and the one of Ashley with the Fall foilage!
Did you do to the Aquarium? We went there a few years ago. It was very cool, too!
skinkybaby replied: How beautiful!
TheOaf66 replied: looks like a really nice place, it looked very relaxing
Kaitlin'smom replied:
I would LOVE to see them. its BEAUTIFUL. Now I want to go.
WOW I did not realise both Rod and you have lost weight, you look great! Course Ashley is adorable. I to LOVE the fall pumkin picture.
TFS I love them
MommyToAshley replied:
The Aquarium looked cool, and so did the Rain forest Zoo, but we had to pick and choose. And, since we had just recently went to the Newport Aquarium that has the glass tunnels under the water as well... we decided to skip it this time. However, I believe we are planning a trip back again soon so I want to be sure to go to the Aquarium.
MommyToAshley replied:
Actually, I gained back every ounce I had lost when we were going to the gym. With us getting sick and then being slammed with work, I hadn't been to the gym in almost two months.  And, I quickly gained everything back. Rod is still doing pretty good though... that's not fair. But, bless you for saying that... you made my day! 
Boys r us replied: Looks like a great vacation!!!!!! I've never been to Gatlinburg..but after looking at your pictures(and I think this is where leaAnn had pics from not too long ago as well) I need to plan a trip for us! We're in VA so it isn't that far away!
Thanks for sharing!!
MomToJade&Jordan replied: Looks like you had a great vacation. I want to go there now. My fav pic has to be the one of all three of you. Nice to see you Dee.
