Gatlinburg Trip

This weekend we celebrated Kelly turning 30 by going to Gatlinburg. The cabin was very very nice and we had a good time. On Friday once we got settled in, me and Jason and Jodi played some air hockey with me as the victor over Jodi. Once Sam and Carla arrived, they went to get some whiskey and the rest of us debated when we should start grilling out. They returned and Jason grilled while the drinking began. After dinner, we went to the pool and Amy arrived while we were there. We returned to the cabin and began playing a celebrity drinking game which was simple and fun. Kelly also had to blow out her candles so that we could eat brownies. After that people started to head to bed and around 2 am we were in our beds. However, some of us did not stay there. I ended up getting out of the bunk bed with Jason and trying the sofa bed Amy was on. Amy slept with Jason and Shannon was on the top bunk. The sofa bed sucked ass so I went back upstairs and slept on the couch.

Next morning Kelly's brother Wes was the first one up with his wife Laura. It took awhile for everyone to get up, especially the hung over ones. Me and Amy watched "I Know What You Did Last Summer" at 9 am as we waited for everyone. Breakfast was egg bake which was really good. We also had mimosas and after breakfast some of us were semi flat affect. I took a brief hungover nap and then met up with people at the pool. Me, Jodi, Shannon, and Amy decided to drive to Gatlinburg since some of us had never been through the town. On the way we stopped at a lookout point and me and Shannon braved the hill to get down to the water. We then went through Gatlinburg and turned around and went back. It didn't really appeal to what we thought it would be like. When we returned we all got ready for dinner and we went to the Chop House. Dinner was interesting for a few reasons. When Jodi was squeezing her lemon it went flying out of her hand and flew past Jason, Carla was trying to hit the salt shaker to unclog it but she hit it too hard and the bottom came off with all the salt falling onto the table and in her salad. Then Jodi had a steak that was as flat as paper. She had various things to say about her steak LOL!

After dinner Kelly and her family headed back to the cabin and a go cart track caught our eyes. The other 5 of us went to the go kart place. Me, Jason, and Shannon did the go karts. They were fun up until you had to go down this hill which was a little freaky. Shannon ran into the concrete bumper when she was pulling in which gave Jodi and Amy quite a laugh. Back to the cabin to pack up and do some more drinking. Me and Carla watched "Underworld:Evolution" and everyone else drifted away to sleep. The next morning we were off amd me and Jason followed Amy, Shannon, and Jodi to breakfast at Cracker Barrel. The drive home was insane as we ran into two traffic jams. It was a great getaway and thanks Kelly for inviting us all to share your birthday!
