We started our trip on June 3rd, Sunday. We were going to leave around 4am but the girls woke up around 2:30am, they were anxious to leave, so we started getting ready. We were out the door around 4:15am, Bob was a little harder getting up. Our first stop was at Metropolis, Illinois, the home of Superman.
Our next stop Nashville, Tennessee. Kylie wanted to visit Nashville because she is a big Taylor Swift fan. We arrived around 11:30am and walked around till about 2:30pm. We ate at a restaurant called Dick's the girls had fun there the waiter made them hats.
Then next morning, Monday, June 4th we got up and drove to Pigeon Forge to our cabin. The girls loved the cabin, it had our own hot tub on the porch and a jacuzzi tub in the bedroom, they loved it. That night we went to the Comedy Barn we really enjoyed the show. Then went back to the cabin for the girls to play in the hot tub and jacuzzi.Tuesday, June 5th we got up early to go to the Smoky Mountains. We took a 2.5 mile hike straight up a mountain. The girls were great troopers and on the way we met Santa. It was a great hike and a beautiful waterfall at the end. After that we went into Gatlinburg to shop and take a ride in the sky lift.
Wednesday, June 6th we went to a place that Leah found called WonderWorks. It was really a fun place to visit. The outside looks like an upside down building, there were a lot of things to do there, rock climbing, bubbles, bed of nails, space walking and laser tag. The girls had a blast.
Wednesday afternoon we headed for Dollywood, we spent the rest of Wednesday and then all day Thursday.
Friday, June 8th we headed for home. This was an awesome vacation that we had with our girls. Kylie and Leah are our heart. They are our first granddaughters they are only 4 months a part and our first loves. We really enjoyed them immensely and hope we made some special memories for them, they did for us. What a joy these beautiful girls, inside and out, are to us. They are changing daily and growing into sensitive, smart and kind young girls. I can't wait to see what they do with all their talents. They will definitely be gifts to this world like they are to us. I love them with my whole heart and soul and am a better person being their Grandma.
