we are taking the plunge and actually traveling on the first of july. we have booked a chalet high in the smoky mountains in tennessee. gatlinburg, to be exact. and will return on the fourth. the chalet has three hottubs, a wraparound deck overlooking the city. we might go to dollywood if the weather isn't really hot and humid. there is a lifesize statue of dolly, complete with her boobs. hehe. so what is everyone else doing? it is the independence of our great country. and luckily, we might see some fireworks while there. i have loved viewing fireworks since i was a young child.
