Our Honeymoon - Wednesday Wanderings

Wednesday, we spent the day in Gaitlinburg, the nice, cute touristy town. (As opposed to Pigeon Forge which was extremely gaudy!) The very first place we went into was a store that sold plaques and pictures with Bible verses, hymns, or good sayings on them. It was very cool! The beams in the store had hymns carved into them. We spent a lot of time there just looking around. We really appreciated the strong emphasis on biblical things in the midst of all the tourist traps, with shirts and whatnot that were not all as wholesome. We decided that we would come back at the end of the day and get one or two things for our new home. :)

What we ended up getting (sorry the picture isn't that great).

We continued wandering about town, and saw lots of fun things...

Herbie!!! :)
Then Ryan wanted to go up the mountain on a tram, called the Ober Gatlinburg. It went wayyy up, and then we took a ski lift even higher up the mountain (well, really to the top).


The tram that we took.
 
My opinion of the ski lift.



Me & Ryan on the ski lift (okay, it wasn't too bad, just a little scary).

Pretty view

In between the tram and ski lift, there was this touristy place which we didn't do anything at, but they did have an ice rink. On the way back down the mountain, the Zamboni was out! :) (How come zambonis are so fun?!)


Our wedding rings.

Thursdays adventures will be next...
