Anakeesta.....

Anakeesta...They advertise it as a theme park, but it's really not.



It's situated at the top of a mountain overlooking the ski town of Gatlinburg, Tn. It's beautifully landscaped and has some incredible views.








They also have a single rider rollar coaster called the Rail Runner. It's the first of it's kind in the United States because it rides on a single rail. My daughter and her friend rode it, but I passed. She enjoyed it, but said they could've cleaned up all the construction stuff they left lying around, which was in full view as they rode down the mountain.






They also have a really cool swinging bridge trail that takes you through the tree tops.



On our way down we got a really nice view of Gatlinburg. All in all, it was a nice trip and the food at the top is very good, but be prepared to wait in line. There's just not enough restaurants for the amount of people that are up there. Other than that, I would definitely recomment it, even if you just go for the scenery..:)

Take me out to the ballgame....

I love baseball. I always have. Especially in person. There's just something about the atmosphere of a ballpark on a summer day.



Last month we took our grandson, who's a huge baseball and football fan by the way, to Atlanta to see the Braves in action.



We had a lot of fun and spent the afternoon prior to game time walking around the Battery, which is the shops and restaurants lining the street outside the Brave's new stadium.





















I think his favorite part of the Battery was the huge fountain they had outside the stadium gates, which was a huge welcome on such a hot day.

And it was definitely hot. They don't call it Hotlanta for nothin'...lol



Even though the Braves lost to Washington Nationals by one point, it was still a good game. We plan to check out another game next year.

Go Braves!!
