Tennesse Trip

This year we decided to take the big road trip to visit Shaun's grandparents and other family in Maryville, Tennesse. They live just outside of Knoxville which on the far East side of TN so it was a long car ride, about 13 hours, but we were pretty comfortable in the new car and overall had a great time on the trip.

The trip was full of firsts for Tyler... first time out of the state, first time staying in a hotel, and first time meeting Great-Grandma & Great-Grandad and several great aunts and uncles.

Greatgrandad and Greatgrandma have this huge basinet with lots of empty space that was very nice to give Tyler lots of room to run around and play or swing. :)

Half way through our visit Shaun and left Tyler with all the family and went away to a bed and breakfast in the mountains for a couple of nights. It was a beautiful place with great food and we definitely look forward to going back there again next time we are in Tennessee.

this was the little patio by our room and joined the deck where the hot tub was

the one full day we were away we went on a little hike and saw lots of gourgeous scenery

This is inside a nature and historical preserve called Cade's Cove that we drove through. There were lots of other pictures of the beautiful scenery and the fun we had there from our trip, these are just a few pictures I really liked. I hope you enjoy them too.
