this weekend was so much fun all around, including Zorbing.... incredible!!! We made it to our cabin on thursday night and had a good time exploring and settling in, playing pool and foosball. on friday the weather could not have been more beautiful. perfectly clear skies, close to 80 degrees. we decided that we wanted to go ahead and do the zorb thing, so we headed over there around noon or so. there were just a few other poeple there... no waiting, just awesomeness. all 10 of us wanted to go down the same track, so it took about an hour to get everyone down. the ride was so much fun, it can't really be described.
after zorbing we went back to the cabin to regroup and dressed and all that and then we headed out to go to outlets and just check stuff out. we went down to the bass pro shop and into a beef jerky outlet, yum. one thing that we were not anticipating about this weekend is that it was a huge hot rod rally. there were 600,000 cars there (i'm not joking) for the weekend, so there was incredible traffic. on friday and saturday afternoons we got stuck in traffic for hours. on friday we left the bass pro shop around outlets arouns 8 and didn't make it back to the cabin till 11.
on saturday we lounged around for most of the morning and then headed to gatlinburg to check out what was going on there. we decided to take back roads to get there. the road we ended up on was a lot like the blue ridge parkway, and absolutely gorgeous. it had started off cloudy and rainy but by this time it was partly sunny and great weather. we stopped at one point and got out of the cars to enjoy the scenery. once in gatlinburg we got a late lunch and just walked around and took in the tourist trap ridiculousness. then we started back on the 5 mile trip back to pigeon forge on the main roads... which took 3 hours, no joke. we are all pretty flexible and we were having a great time people watching and talking/hanging out so it ended up being pretty fun.
on sunday we packed up and got everything ready and headed to street's aunt and uncles for lunch and then made our way back to harrisonburg. the weekend was a great time together and experiencing great new things. here are some pictures!!
