We drove up to Gatlinburg for a few days. We decided to take the 12 minute longer route that took us through Smokey Mountain National Forest. The extra 12 minutes were definitely worth it. It was gorgeous.
We stayed at a hotel in Gatilinburg, and didn't do anything in the town itself other than drive through it. We had a blast just hanging out in our hotel and doing some major pool-hopping (there were three pools; the last one we went to was our favorite).
Anyway, here are a bunch of pictures. If there are too many, then don't look at them. If there are not too many, then enjoy! :) (This is a mere fraction of the over 500 pictures that we took, so we narrowed it down a ton. This is why we don't post very often! Oh, and we're lazy.)
