Spring Break!!!

SPRING BREAK!!!!

Spring Break could have not come fast enough this year!

I started out my Spring Break in Knoxville, TN to visit with Matt for 2 full days (Saturday and Sunday) and 3 really short nights! Matt did extra work on Wed-Fri so he could take the ENTIRE day off on Saturday! We started out by eating a late breakfast at the hotel and then headed to Matt's FAVORITE place (no matter what state we are in): Bass Pro Shops!!! 

We spent over 2 hours just walking around and "window shopping". This Bass Pro had the restaurant in it so we ate lunch there and tried to decide where we would head from there. Matt had never driven to Pigeon Forge (even though it is only 25 minutes from the station!!), so we decided to go and see the Titanic! Before we got to the Titanic, we saw this on right side of the road-

If you know my husband, you know he loves any kind of knife! He has not had very good fortune with knives (all his short pockets have mysterious holes?) that he has purchased before, so I hope that the one he bought he can keep in his pocket! After we left here we made our way SLOWLY down to the Titanic! Obviously, everyone was on Spring Break and headed to the Mountains!

The whole experience was very interesting! Matt's boarding pass was a Third Class passenger and ended up drowning. I was Second Class and Lived!!! Overall we were glad that we had the time to go and enjoy the visit together! After we went to the Titanic, we traveled down a little farther and found this cute little walking-mall area with a bunch of cute little shops, eating places, and a movie theater. Since we had eaten a huge meal at Bass Pro, we decided to eat a Ice Cream at Tutti Frutti! It was so nice to enjoy a snack outside in the beautiful weather!

The water was in glass bottles, but still only $1.50!!

My AWESOME Husband after our yogurt date. After yogurt, we went to see the movie Hall Pass. It is definitely a must see in our book! It is NOT for the kids though! There were definitely some inappropriate parts that made me BLUSH!

On Sunday, we slept late and then ate a lunch at Cracker Barrel. Sunday ended up being a tad bit WARM, and I got to wear SHORTS and a T-Shirt!!! That afternoon we had to head to the station, so Matt and Tim could load the truck! I even helped a little bit! I came home with so many plants to put in my garden, my mom's garden, and to start my school garden. I also had enough to share with Lindsey and her mom!

Matt's truck and one of the green houses! I had such a good trip! We were so blessed to be able to spend a little time together! I spent the rest of the week at beautiful Lake Martin with my Mom and Lawson! Nickel, Russ, Carley and Scarlett went to Disney World, so Mom and I kept Lawson! She is such a character and I had so much fun playing with her and getting to know her personality!

Does it get any better than waking up to this beautiful scene? 

Friday afternoon it was 80 degrees and beautiful! I did end up sitting in the sun WAY TOO Long and came home with a sunburn, but it was worth it! 

Lawson is one silly little girl! She was helping me make headbands for my softball team!  

Lawson helping Mamie water the flowers! She did everything my Mom did and followed her everywhere! 

Before Nickel, Russ, and the girls went back on Saturday we all went to Oskar's! If you are in the Lake Martin Area-you HAVE to eat here! It is an ALL Time favorite for everyone that eats it!

After lunch I met Maddie and Lindsey and we headed to Tiger Town to do some 2nd Birthday Party Shopping! Lindsey and I laughed the entire time at Maddie. She amazes me at how much she talks-ALL the Time! I was constantly cracking up. I snapped these 2 photos and she is just so cute!

I cannot believe that she will be 2 on April 7th! She has a special place in our hearts and we are so glad that her parents let us be a part of her life! She is having a Barnyard Themed Party and it is going to be so CUTE! Check out The Smith's blog in a couple of weeks to see all the cute pictures!

In other news: Chip and Cara are having a BOY!!!! We are so excited!! I had the ultrasound picture, but for some reason I cannot get it to load! Check Facebook for the proof if you don't believe me!!

I know this was super long and probably boring to most of you, but I am using this as a scrapbook for Matt and I. This Spring Break was very welcomed. I will be heading back to school, softball practice, and just daily life! I also have a garden to get planted so I can start harvesting verggies for the fall! If you had Spring Break I hope it was restful, and if you didn't I hope you can make it until you do have Spring Break!
