The best BIRTHDAY EVER!!

    Last night was so awesome, even though I almost died. 😊 My momma and I decided that we were going to go to Gatlinburg and go to a Mexican restaurant that is up there. I found an awesome deal on tickets for Anakeesta, I have never been there and it is one of the newer attractions. We get into Gatlinburg and traffic was horrible. It was Jeep invasion weekend. I got cut off several times but then we had one person cut us off then out of NO WHERE there was a woman walking out in traffic with a pizza in her hand. Now mind you there is a crosswalk about 50 yards up and the person in front of me just bows up and stops to let this woman in the car which stops traffic on our side. This really made me angry cause there are stops and crosswalks that they could have done that. Then we go to park and get to Anakeesta. We get in the gondola instead of the ski lift chair. I was absolutely amazed how high we went up. We get up there and go to the store and did the tree walk as we were about in the middle of the tree walk I notice that there was lighting and it was raining a little ways out from Gatlinburg. We decided that we were just going to head back down before it started raining and go to the Mexican restaurant that was straight across from Anakeesta. I look at momma and stated should I go in and buy us a poncho before we leave cause it was lightening all around at this point but it wasn't raining. My momma looks at me and says no I think we will be okay. Yea, we weren't okay. On the way down we decided that we would ride the ski chair lift down that way we could get down faster than going back in a gondola. About half way down the mountain it decides to sprinkle then right before we got all the way down and in the area we got out it started pouring the rain. We were soaked. The reason I said I almost died is because all of the lighting that was all around us and we were hanging in this metal chair I was just waiting to be struck any moment. We laughed about it so much though. Then it starts sprinkling again so we start walking to No Way Jose's. We get there and the place is completely packed. I mean it was really bad. Momma goes and checks and it will be an hour wait. I told her I knew of another Mexican restaurant but it was all the way down in Pigeon Forge. We get to the car get down to Pigeon Forge it is still raining get down to the restaurant and I couldn't believe it. It was another No Way Jose's . We get seated immediately in an awesome waitresses area. She suggested this awesome taco plate called Ultimate Tacos we substituted the ground beef with Chicken. I had a House of Blue's Margarita and momma had a frozen strawberry margarita. We had a blast just sitting there talking and letting everything go. I am so blessed to have her here with me.  

Here are some of the pictures from that night...
