Gatlinburg!!
March 18, 2008So…yeah. Me and my family went to Gatlinburg.
We woke up at the crack o’ dawn Saturday morning, and put the stuff in the car. Chipper had already gone to a babysitter, so we left. It took us four and a half hours to reach the place. I slept for most of the way, never really sleeping, just dozing. Then my dad decided we should do a Timeshare thing, and get a hundred bucks for it. So, we went to WestGate Hotels, and went inside. It was so loud in there. And you’ll never guess this. I had eight women in that same hotel tell me my hair was beautiful. It was awesome. So, after that, we listened to this guy tell us about his hotel for ninety minutes. I mostly read my book and listened to music.
After that, we found our little crappy hotel. It was okay, I guess. I mean, the pools were pretty awesome, just cause they were pools. Me and Nog got to swim quite a bit, and we met some nice people in the hot tub. After we swam and stuff, we went downtown to shop and eat. First, we ate at T.G.I Friday’s, me and Nog went inside this mirror maze. It was awesome. Nog did this dance, and it looked like four monkeys. It was awesome! And I kept running into the mirrors. =( Then after that, we got some ice cream (Haha Aunt B) and went to the arcade. Me and Nog did pretty good on the games, but we only got 240 tickets. We saved them, and never used them =(
The next day, Dad woke us up, and said, “Do you want to switch hotels? They have a better pool?” You can guess what we said. Yes, of course. So, we went to the new hotel, and were amazed at the awesome pool. You could go from the hot tub, to the three foot. It was great. And there was another pool ABOVE the three foot that was nine and seven feet tall. We loved that pool.
Mom took us hiking at Laurel Falls. That was amazing. We drive up the mountain (much to my ears’ displeasure) and found this paved trail. Me and Nog had gotten some really cool walking sticks, and we climbed up the trail with that. It was 1.3 miles to and from the waterfall. When we got there, it was an amazing view. It was so pretty. I can’t even describe it. Just Wow! ought to do the trick. We stayed there for a while, and then walked back. We kept telling the people that were very close, and exhausted that they were halfway there. It was funny to see their reactions. And to top that off, I saw a group of really HOT Asian guys.
After that, we got to swim in the pool for a good two hours. We met a few kids, and played with them. All guys. The girls there were all stuck up, and preppy. Them and there skinny-ness, and two-piece bathing suits. =(
after we swam, we went on the sky lift. That was so scary! I was crying when we got on because, well, I’m deathly afraid of heights, and elevators. I afraid of anything that’s high up in the air, cause it could crash, and I might die. Make since? xD Well, when we got to the top, it was an amazing view. We could see the mountains, and the tiny city. As we went down, me and Nog were shivering! It was so cold! We couldn’t even talk right! But overall, it was worth eighteen dollars.
After that, we drove downtown to eat dinner. We ate at the Brewery. While we waited for our table, Nog and I went to the toy shop. SHOCKER. And then my mom went into this Indian Shop. We went in there once our table was ready to get her, and then we saw this guy, who’s shop was really neat. We ate our food, which was pretty good, and then we decided we should go downtown.
Well, everything was closed. That was depressing. And then my mom, brother, and I walked into this shop, which had beads and scented soap. It reminded me of a shrink shop. I thought some lady was going to come running up to me, and say, “You are in grave danger!” I was kinda creeped out.
Then we waited for my dad. He never came. So we walked back to the car, and he called us from the Indian shop. We went in there, and him and the British guy were talking. We stayed in there for a good two hours, getting our philosophy told. He was good! He knew I was an Aries born in the rat, and I didn’t tell him. He said I was one of those people that when someone shows me a hot pan, and says, “This is hot,” I say, “What? hot?” and then touch it an burn myself. Yeah, he’s right. xD He was one of those super wise old men that cuss a lot, and smell good, like smoke and peppermint. ;P
After we did that, we came back to the hotel, and went to sleep. We woke up the next morning, and went to the other hotel to eat breakfast again. Then me and Nog went swimming. We met this nice kid, and taught him how to dive, and he told us about Pigeon Forge, and stuff there. We left after that, and went to Pigeon Forge, where me and my mom went shopping for bathing suits. The cheapest one was eighty-four dollars. Then we searched for a decent go-kart place; we finally found one. I rode single, and Nog and Mack rode double.
After that, we found this place that had INDOOR SKYDIVING. That was awesome! It was this giant fan. The instructor jumped off the edge, and looked like he was having a seizure. Then he helped the other kids. We are doing that this morning with peanutfanatic and her family. AWESOME! And then after that, we ate Arby’s and went home.
And that’s a full record of my vacation!
