Two years

Two years ago on June 11th Jesse and I were married. Last week we went back to where we spent our honeymoon, Sevierville, TN. (By-the-way, we went there last year too.) Considering that we wanted our first full day to be the 11th, we drove up on the 10th leaving Columbia around 10:30 AM. After checking in we freshened up and headed on out to a church we had gone to before. The message was taken from Rev. 19:1-10.
On Monday we went to Dolly Splash Country. It was fun. We noticed a drastic change from two years ago when we went to D S C and this year. Two years ago we spent about 5 hours. This year we didn't make it past 3 1/2 hours. We're getting old. ha ha =)
On Tuesday we drove a scenic route to Cades Cove. We were told we might see bear, deer, rabbits, etc. The emphasis is on the word "might". =0 All we saw were trees, greenery, log buildings, and people.
On Wednesday we came home by way of the Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg. Fascinating place! I picked up and held a horseshoe crab ... for about 3 seconds and then dropped it back into the water because it's legs touched my hands and scared me. Jesse was able to pet a manta ray. He says (I didn't see because I was sitting down) that a big manta ray slithered up the lady in the tank in order to get food.
All in all our little vacation went by wonderfully and too quickly.
