Memorial Day weekend

Memorial Day weekend has come and gone...booooo
As thousands gather the streets of DC for the "Rolling Thunder" down Constitution Ave, we left town! We drove out on Friday, and on our way we actually saw about 100 motorcycles with their police escort driving across 66 as they made their way into the city. Where did we go, you ask???
GATLINBURG!!!
Yes, that's right. Matt and I hitched up Pearl (my car) and headed for the great Smoky Mountains! I sang that Alabama song the whole way, don't you worry. We met up with Matt's family who takes a trip there every Memorial Day, and this was just our first year to go. We couldn't stay the whole week as Matt is trying to save up "leave" (that's what he calls vacation)for the baby. The Smokies are beautiful this time of year. It was very very green and so wonderful to breathe fresh air again!

I have attached a few pics for your looking enjoyment! Enjoy! And yes, my belly has gotten bigger in the last week. I feel fat, but I am enjoying that little panel in my pants!

This is my wonderful mother and father-in-law


My two nephews


My sister-in-law and her hubs (his name is Matt too) and baby


I can never keep my mouth closed!


And here is Matt and I with baby belly


And here are a few out takes from our adventures!

This is my "come hither" look. I think it's working!


"Matt stop climbing on rocks!"


I get this all of the time!


I have no words for my action here... you have to love me!


Don't worry... Perry pics are coming! LOOK OUT BRANSON! HERE WE COME!!! Happy weekend to you all!

I love Gatlinburg! We use to go there every year back when I lived in GA. So glad you all had such a wonderful time. Love the pics...esp. your "come hither" one - totally works even with the baby belly : )

No words for the last one, but I bet there was a banjo playing somewhere! :) You look great, Spee -- and I don't think Matt could be any happier about the baby on board. Love it!
