Hello! How was your weekend? As predicted, mine kind of got away from me, but I’m going to do a quick Weekend Wrap Up!
Hadley and I left Saturday to head to Gatlinburg, TN for her final dance competition of the season.
We had a great time, but it was a jam-packed couple of days. We arrived Saturday afternoon, checked into our hotel, and met up with some of Hadley’s dance friends (and their moms!) We rode the skylift to the top of the mountain, and then walked across the Skylift Bridge. It was definitely a memorable experience. My favorite part was the ride down as the views of the Smoky Mountains were really pretty.
Then, Saturday night, we headed out to dinner at the Cherokee Grill and then went to the Gatlinburg Space Needle and checked out the views of Gatlinburg, at night, from the top. Then the girls got some ice cream, and we headed back to the hotel and to bed after a busy day of travel and sightseeing.
Thankfully, we didn’t have to set an early alarm on Sunday because her dance studio had a reasonable call time! We met up with the other mom/daughter combos for breakfast before heading to the convention center. The girls performed their tap and jazz routines, watched the other dancers’ performances, and then wrapped up their block of time with awards.
Hadley and I headed back home right after the awards. Travis and Hayden fared well without us 😉
Here are a few favorite photos from the weekend…

The Sky bridge…(the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in North America) …

After dinner, we went up on the Gatlinburg Space Needle.
The girls can always find ice cream!
Sunday’s competition was a really great experience for the girls. We were the only team during out block of time making it a very safe experience, the call time was perfect, and their team had their best performances yet earning “high gold” for both dances.
So that’s a quick wrap up of our weekend. I hope to be back this week for:
Prime Purchases on Tuesday,
Currently on Wednesday,
My latest Trader Joe’s haul on Thursday,
and then I will wrap up the week on Friday with some of my favorites.
Shew, we’ll see if I can make all those posts happen, but I sure hope so! I’m just a girl dreaming of a few more minutes in the day 😉
I hope your week is off to a great start. See you back here tomorrow.
Linking up with Tanya and others!
Busy weekend and a fairly long drive! Sounds like it was good, though! I don’t know if I could walk that bridge! I might have to run! Have a great week!

I have one thing to say to that bridge, and it’s “No ma’,am!!”. Nevertheless a fun weekend with friends sounds great!

Haha I’m not big on heights either! But I just kept on going. Since there were so many people in front of me, I just kept moving 😂

That sounds like a wonderful trip! Though I am not too sure I would have wanted to walk out on the sky bridge.

Gatlinburg is so beautiful! We spent a few days there two years ago to visit the Smokys. We didn’t do the bridge but we did take the gondolas up to OberGatlinburg and the views are GORGEOUS! I’m glad it went well, and that the guys survived at home. Have a great week!

Gatlinburg is a bit busy for my taste but the scenery (& surrounding areas) is beautiful

Yes, that’s true. The downtown/Main Street area was a bit much.
