Lincoln's first mini-vacation!
With it getting so close to Christmas, mom and I decided we should take a little shopping trip somewhere. We used to always go on a "mom/daughter" trip - but the last few years we just havent been able to find the time. So, this year, we decided to pack up (Lincoln included!) and head to the Smokies. Lots of good outlet shopping to be had there, so off we went! Lincoln was so good on the ride up. He played and played, and when he was played out, he watched the Wiggles!
Once we got there, all he really wanted to do was hang out in our suitcases. He loves a suitcase!
That is, until he found the balcony door!
Here we are! It was snowing when we got there. Neither of us took a coat... At least we brought one for the baby!
Cade's Cove
And of course, I insisted on going to the Apple Barn. Mom hadn't been before, so I was so excited! The LONG wait, combined with a hungry/sleepy baby made for a very bad meal... We ended up taking almost all of our food to go...
I think we wore him smack out...
We decided one day to just walk the strip. Obviously Lincoln did NOT like Herbie...
Before heading into the aquarium.
Lincoln was completely amazed by all of the fish (and I think a little confused about why it was so dark).
And maybe a little scared of the rays?
Lincoln the Scuba diver!
In the fish tube. He really liked this one... And I really liked watching mom try to crawl into it!! :)
Lincoln really wanted to catch a horseshoe crab! He sure wasn't scared of these guys! By the way, did you know the males are smaller than the females therefore cling to them for safety? Interesting...
And we had no luck trying to touch a ray. They just wouldn't get close enough! I swear I think Lincoln woulda jumped in had I let him.
Watching the scuba diver feed the fish.
Pretending to be a penguin!
The things we do to this poor child...
It was a superfun trip and Lincoln was so good the whole time. He hung in there like a trooper, even through the 9 hour outlet trip! I hope we can make this an every year event!
