The original place we wanted to book for our summer vacation was full (I actually tried to book the location months in advance but it was already full). Blake and I didn’t have a back up location for a trip, which lead me to making a list of possible places. A few of the placesContinue reading “Great Smoky Mountains Summer Vacation 7/25/2021-7/30/2021”
