First Krispy Kreme

On the ride back home to Michigan, we stopped at Krispy Kreme for breakfast. Jinnae enjoyed every minute of her first Krispy Kreme donut.

On Top of the World

We hiked to the highest point in the Smoky Mountains - Clingman's Dome. It was rainy and cloudy so we didn't get the best view but we still enjoyed the hike as a family. No, it's not a wildfire - the Smoky Mountains really look like they are smoking sometimes.

May I Go Swimming?

Jinnae loved looking out the window at the pool below every day at the resort. She loved swimming and floating around in her crab boat.

Ripley's Believe It or Not Aquarium in Tennessee

Jinnae loved visiting the aquarium in Tennessee. She would growl every time a shark swam by. She liked the jellyfish the best.

Fourth of July 2009

We celebrated the Fourth of July in North Carolina. Grandma Pulaski made Jinnae's dress. Grandma also made Jinnae some more adorable outfits. Pictures of those will come soon. We visited family and watched the fireworks in Southport on the Atlantic Ocean. It was wonderful.

Summer Vacation 2009 North Carolina/Tennessee

Good times at Monkey Joe's - Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Pulaski

I'll miss this view every morning. I gotta go back!

We had a wonderful two week vacation. We spent time in North Carolina visiting Rick's parents and family. Then we drove to Tennessee and spent a week at a resort in the mountains. We had a wonderful time swimming, hiking, shopping and hanging out. I didn't want to come back home to reality. Life is good.
