Anakeesta group outing

Pigeon Forge is a favorite of mine. When I did the Appalachian Trail, I came of the trail in the Smokey Mountains to spend my 31st birthday at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge. 

This trip, we talked about Dollywood, but ended up settling on Annakeesta. It's this village built at the top of a mountain with tons of things for everyone. We rode the chairlift up to the top, climbed through rope playgrounds and hanging walkways. Some of the group did the mountain coaster. There was so much to see & do. The majority of the day was spent enjoying the views and trying not to sweat to death. Don't worry. They had misters and splash pads to help cool off. 

Upon return to the VRBO, some of the group headed to the community area where we played miniature golf using clubs and balls from the VRBO. After mini golf, my college roommate, her boys, & myself hung out at the community pool enjoying the waterfall nearby and watching the kids play. It was a wonderful day.
