With minutes to spare by deadline, and while working before and after my Christmas party in order to get the most discounts, I finished the photo book of my family's summer vacation to give my parents and my nieces. Here's how it turned out! *As of 5/20/17, Shutterfly made me remove the widget.

Most of my vacation pictures are usually architectural or landscape. And animals... I get random animals. I didn't get a squirrel this time, and didn't upload my ducks. I always get ducks. Here are some of my favorites in no particular order than how they uploaded.  The infamous dock Jase tried to flood on Duck Dynasty. Union Station in Nashville Church in Nashville Ryman Auditorium in Nashville Antique Archeaology in Nashville Union Station clock tower Frist Museum Another church in Nashville Nashville's first public school Loved the colors of the Ferris Wheel in Pigeon Forge. This doesn't do justice. I think Ferris Wheels are just cool to take pictures of anyway. Chapel near our cabin. Near the aquarium in Gatlinburg Inside the aquarium... you kind of have to look close, don't you. From the Smoky Mountain National Park road between Gatlinburg, TN and Cherokee, NC. ELK!!! ...

Here are some of my favorite pictures from vacation. This first installment has people in each picture. If you know me, I take a lot of pictures of architecture, etc. Those will come tomorrow! A Paige selfie taken on a rooster on the carousel at Dollywood. Paige and Peyton taking pictures of themselves while I was driving down the road. The Gaylord Hotel  Outside the Grand Old Opry.

We were trying to recreate a picture while on the Ferris Wheel. #fail My parents at the Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg. Peyton at the Aquarium in Gatlinburg. Peyton found Nemo.

Our cabin, Hibernation Station!  Feeding goats at Goats on the Roof  Peyton thought she was going to be ...

Our final day! Paige sums it up for us. Got up about 8 and went down for breakfast. Then once again we were BACK on the road. Made it to West Monroe to see Duck Commander about 10:30 which was totally awesome. WE got some great souvenirs and pics. Then we drove on which felt like years to find somewhere to eat. WE just kept pushing and pushing to go a little farther. Finally to Texas baby!! Once the pushing stopped we ended up going to Sonic in Longview, TX. That satisfied our stomachs.  Finally back home about 3:40 were mom and dad who met us. We told them all our crazy stories. About 2100 miles covered and tons of memories made. We came close to almost an exact 7 day vacation (to the minute!) .  Lots of laughter and troubles (the hill) it all couldn't of fit!! Overall this has been a great vacation and I will never forget it!! Oh, she didn't tell you about the hill! I don't want to talk about me trying to back the truck down the hill to turn aroun...
