  • Tonyne @ The Unlikely Success Story August 24, 2010, 9:25 pm

    Looking at these pictures was like giving my eyes a mini-break. It also gave me something to aspire to this fall after my hellish work schedule this summer. πŸ™‚

  • Kelly August 24, 2010, 9:28 pm

    Wow absolutely gorgeous. I want to go there.

    Wow! Awesome πŸ™‚

  • Shelley August 24, 2010, 9:30 pm

    This looks SO much like the cabin we stayed at last year in the Smoky Mountains. We were just outside Gatlinburg. Brings back memories! (Except staying in a cabin with a 1 and 3 year old wasn’t exactly relaxing!) You can’t beat those views!

  • Gwen August 24, 2010, 9:32 pm

    one word: AMAZING! you SO deserve this trip πŸ™‚ Enjoy!

    <3 You guys SO needed and deserved this getaway and it looks AMAZING.

  • Jessica @ WHY DONTCHA RUN August 24, 2010, 9:56 pm

    Girlfriend, I was wondering when the heck your full tank of “go, go, go” was going to dwindle. I’m impressed with your drive and even more impressed that you took action when you realized it was time for a little alone time. Enjoy every second of it – you’ve so earned it! πŸ™‚

  • Betsy August 24, 2010, 10:00 pm

    Beautiful!!

  • Jess August 24, 2010, 10:03 pm

    No trip to the Smoky Mountains is complete without getting matching (tacky) airbrushed t-shirts! It’ll make for a GREAT laugh AND a great photo!

    Hope you enjoy your mini vacation – you DEFINITELY deserve it!

    • caitlin August 25, 2010, 7:19 am

      hahahah i will definitely try to find some!

      • Jess August 25, 2010, 9:45 am

        The best part is that they are 100% “custom designed.” So you could get an Operation Beautiful note airbrushed on a shirt OR mountainous ridges, a brown bear, and a ‘Caitlin and Kris, Together Forever!” πŸ™‚ Endless possibilities here!

  • Jac August 24, 2010, 10:05 pm

    love the place. looks nice!

  • Laura Ann August 24, 2010, 10:06 pm

    I’m so happy you’re giving yourselves a break! I was wondering how you were managing all that. Enjoy!

  • Kath August 24, 2010, 10:12 pm

    I think that porch trumps your Charlotte porch!!

  • kirsten August 24, 2010, 10:14 pm

    • caitlin August 25, 2010, 7:20 am

      So cool that you built a cabin!

  • Rachel @ Fit Fun and Fabulous August 24, 2010, 10:19 pm

    Get it girl! You guys have definitely earned this.

  • M August 24, 2010, 10:21 pm

    Looks beasutiful….
    I am still challenging to you to completely unplug…
    I dare you to not tweet.blog, email etc tomorr…
    don’t even open your laptop!

    It would be the best thing over for you-completely have a TRUE vacation day away from all obligations(and no downloading photos either girl….save ’em for Mon or Tues ok?)

    Do it for YOU!!!! Namaste!

    • caitlin August 25, 2010, 7:21 am

      Honestly I think that would make me anti-relaxed. πŸ™‚ I really love blogging.

  • Sarah @ Sarah's Shaping Up August 24, 2010, 10:25 pm

    looks like you’re having a fabulous time! are you staying in sevierville, gatlinburg, or pigeon forge? it’s so beautiful there! πŸ™‚

  • Jasmine @ Eat Move Write August 24, 2010, 11:09 pm

    How is it possible that every person I’ve ever known whose gone to the Smokies stayed in a cabin that looked JUST LIKE THAT!?!? lol. I swear. They must all look the same with those AMAZING views!

  • Heather August 24, 2010, 11:37 pm

    That’s where I lived for the past 10years, now living in south Florida. The cabin looks like one we have stayed in a few times.

    Nothing like those beautiful mountains!
    Have fun sweetie, you deserve it!

    ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! (Of course, I would have missed it, since I, like your husband, prefer sleeping to sunrises.)

    On a random note, I think I need to step away from reading blogs! I had a dream last night that I was on the Today Show filming a segment on “Yoga at Any Body Size”. Really, I think it was a commercial for lululemon sportswear, since we were wearing goofy outfits. I was so excited that I had remembered my camera and could document my experience on the Today Show on my blog, JUST LIKE YOU!! πŸ˜‰
