Bucket List Update: Tennessee Complete!

So I didn't post anything last week because Tony and I took a vacation with his parents.  We got to spend an amazing week in the Great Smokey Mountains!  Tennessee is now checked off my list!

We hiked, including part of the Appalachian Trail, shopped, ate, rode horses, and went to Dollywood.  The views were amazing and the weather was perfect.  We had a perfect day at Dollywood.  The weather was great and it was empty!  They also have the best wooden roller-coaster that I have ever been on.  It was an amazing trip and I got to spend some much needed quality time (20 hours in the car and all week) with my hubby.

Here are some of our photos from the week.

 A great week and we'd definitely go back!

Bucket List

When I was in middle school, I started a bucket list by crossing two things off my list just as a started. Those two things were rock climbing and white water rafting. Since then, my list has grown and changed as Tony and I have found new things to try. Some things have been added just so we can cross them off. My list contains things both personal and professionally. 

Here is my current list:
