For our honeymoon, we flew down to the Smokey Mountains Monday morning and spent the week in a cabin just outside Pigeon Forge.
The first photo-worthy moment was seeing Matt's rental car for the week: a C-Max Hybrid. This vehicle kept us entertained all week when the scenery wasn't enough.
We spent our Tuesday walking through the shops in Gatlinberg. Sitting on top of this five-ton floating granite ball was no small feat.
We ate at the Bullfish Grill for our meal from Grandma. The wait was pretty long so we found a nice couple to take our picture.
Wednesday was hiking day, and also one of the colder days of our trip. We hiked up to the top of Chimney Tops trail.

| Those are the Chimney tops! |
That night we went to the Dixie Stampede. On Thursday, we went to Wonderworks and spent most of our day there.
We found this oddly labeled light switch in our cabin to be quite useful.

Thursday night we walked down by the river and then rode on the Ferris Wheel. We got a good deal on night/day passes, so we came back Friday morning and rode it again.

| We rode the country's tallest Ferris Wheel! (According to the guy running it?) |
After that, we went to the Titanic Museum and then packed up to go home Saturday.

We took the scenic route through the mountains to get back to the airport and then flew back to Moline and stayed in a hotel that night again.
