Dollywood

Well, we believe it's official. As a kid, we would go to Pigeon Forge and Dollywood routinely. It's only about 2 hours away so we'd jump in the car on Saturdays and drive down. One of the things about it was getting your season pass to Dollywood! So now Tosh and I feel like we've officially moved back 'home' since we broke down and bought season passes to Dollywood for 2009! I'm so excited! I love going there and we have such a great time. The first picture is of us with my sister and her husband. Can you tell it was COLD? Only in the 30's all day but that didn't matter. We bundled up and enjoyed ourselves. There weren't many people there so it was a good day. We got to do the 4-D Polar Express Ride. It was pretty neat! I didn't get to sit in a motion seat but that was OK. They make the smell of hot chocolate blow out in your face when they are serving the hot chocolate on the train in the movie.

We had doughnuts and we bought very little except food. The cinnamon bread is always the best! And now we have tickets to 'Bring a Friend' for free -- so if anyone is coming this way, let us know! We'll go to Dollywood for a day!

Today is 26 weeks for the baby and myself! My belly is REALLY growing now. I've even started bumping into things with it. I've been sick the last 4 days with a bad cold though and have been sleeping in the recliner to be able to breathe. Gotta love Tylenol -- doesn't do much huh? My parents had bought us a countdown clock for our wedding day and I found it last night. Apparently it's 97 days until the little guy/gal gets here!

Tosh and I are heading up to his Dad's for Christmas this evening. His brother Nick is driving in from Ohio with his girlfriend and we are doing Thanksgiving/Christmas/and Nick's birthday all in one shot tonight. It should be a good time for all.

And now, shouldn't every Game Warden have his picture taken with reindeer and an elf?
