Sometimes a little spontaneity is a great thing. Sunday night we talked about taking the girls to an aquarium while Derek had four days off work. Monday morning we packed everybody up and took a two night stay in Gatlinburg. I think we were actually packed up before we had a place to stay!
We stayed in a two bedroom condo that I took a picture of while riding the Ober Gatlinburg tram. I think spontaneous agenda free trips are the best way to travel with toddlers. I can't wait until we do it again!
