Zoo Trip and More

On Sunday, we took Will to the zoo for the first time. He was fascinated by the bright colors and the unusual sounds all around him. The Scarlet Ibis really caught his attention.

We have finally finalized our vacation plans. Next week, we're off to OKC to visit my Grannie. Can't wait!!! Then in September, we'll be in Tennessee for a week. 2 days in Memphis will be spent at the awesome Memphis Zoo and Beale St. Then 4 days will be spent in Gatlinburg. We're looking forward to the trip because both places are so much fun and there's always something to do. We plan on visiting the Ripley's Believe It or Not Aquarium while in Gatlinburg. I can't wait to see Will's reaction to the beautiful fish. I can't wait to visit my beloved Smokies! The Great Smoky Mountains are a sight to behold. It's been almost 5 years since we've been to Gatlinburg and I really am excited about being in the mountains again.

I took this picture in November 2005. Now I have a new camera and I can't wait to see the pictures I will get with it. Maybe this time we won't "accidentally" end up in North Carolina again...

That's what happens when you travel on a road that goes up and around a mountain that you don't know anything about... It was quite a ride though! The mountain I'm talking about it called Newfound Gap. It was a beautiful trip, even though it was unexpected. We ended up on the Pigeon River...which is behind me in that picture. Everybody should visit the Smokies once in their life.


Well, I've got a sleepy baby against my chest...so I think it's nap time and time for me to rest this wrist and shoulder. I see the doctor next week to find out what the world happened to my shoulder...and why my wrist has been hurting and locked up for a couple of months. Until then...have a wonderful week, my friends!
