Thirteen Things I Want To Do On Vacation
For 4th of July week some friends and I rented a huge luxury lodge in the Smoky Mountains. I’ll be off from work for 18 days. Woohoo! I can’t wait! This will be our first road trip in the new car. I’ve made a list of things I want to do, even though I never get to them all.
No TT for me next week since I’ll be on the road.
1. White water rafting on the Big Pigeon Forge River
2. Horseback riding in the mountains
3. Some light hiking in the Smoky Mountain National Park
5. Go to the Ripley’s Aquarium
7. Spend a day cooling off at the water park
8. Go see the furry babies at the Knoxville Zoo
10. Avoid getting tickets in the speed traps.
11. Sit around in my pajamas and read
12. Stay awake all night talking with my friends
13. Sit on the deck and drink margaritas

It looks similar to one my sister and I used once. Have a good time. Having been forced to spend every summer of my childhood in those detested mountains, I have a very bad attitude about them. Isn’t it weird the way some things of our childhood effect us the rest of our lives.
Now, if you want beautiful mountains, head to New Mexico!

Hope you get to atleast check #1 off your list. Check out Wildwater Rafting for the Big Pigeon rafting and also look at Off Road Voyages for really cool off road Hummer tours through the Smokies. They seat 11 people stadium style! Have fun.
That sounds awesome, but the margaritas especailly.
Thanks everyone. I’m really looking forward to it. I work hard but enjoy taking time away to recharge.
SJ – I also went to the Smokys for family vacations but it was always a great time for me.
Sure Angie, join us.
Already booked the rafting, Jeff. The Hummer tours look like a lot of fun.
Sounds like a wonderful vacation. #12 is the bestest thing to do in the world.
The Dixie Stampede is a must see!
The hike to Clingman’s Dome is long, but worth the view if it isn’t foggy.
