Today is our first full day home together. We are settling in nicely. We have several things planned today: oil change for my car, Best Buy trip to swap camcorders, and lots of straightening up around the house. Maybe later we will get some pictures up from the honeymoon. I would also like to get some pictures up of our apartment, but I want to do some more decorating first.

We really enjoyed our trip to Gatlinburg. The condo was beautiful. We played putt putt several times, window shopped, visited the art community, and went on a hike to Laurel Falls. Josh struck up a conversation with the owner of a coffee shop and discovered he used to play professional baseball but now owns and runs his coffee shop. We spent a long while talking to him about why he chose to do that and about Gatlinburg changing so much. One night at dinner we were enjoying the restaurant and its atmosphere when music started up. That was fine until the singer started. We learned from the waiter that the owner hired a kareoke DJ and everyone regretted it. Needless to say he wasn't what they expected at all. While we were in the art community we met a lady at a stainglass shop. We talked to her while we took pictures around the shop. We learned that she and her husband used to vacation in Galtinburg, and when their son went to college they decided to move there.

We look forward to going back to Gatlinburg but are very happy to be home for now :)
