Hey guys! I hope that everyone had a great weekend. June is finally here and I couldn’t be more excited. I absolutely love the summertime and the fun, outdoor activities that comes with it. I went fishing last night for the first time in forever and then today I spent a couple hours at the beach. What are some summer activities that you’re looking forward to?
In today’s post I’m going to be sharing some pictures that I got while I was on vacation a few weeks ago. We stayed in a cabin in between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and it was so nice. While we were there we went ice skating, spent a day at Dollywood, went shopping, etc. I was also able to meet some bloggers/internet friends and it was great getting to meet them in person. This was definitely a trip to remember! Down below are a few pictures that I got.
Digital Diary recently hit 2k followers and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone! Your support means so much to me.
Favorite photo? Have you ever been to Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge? What’s one thing you want to do this summer?
You can find my photography sold on Etsy and Foap. I am also a blog designer and would love to help you with your blog!
Sounds like an awesome trip!! Awesome photos too!! 🙂 ❤

My favorite picture is the ferris wheel! One thing I really want to do this summer is go on a trip in our RV somewhere we’ve never been before. I don’t necessarily care where.

Agreed! Yeah, I know how that is. We seem to have a few vacation spots that we normally visit. While I do enjoy those, I love when we try somewhere new. 😀

One of my favourite places to go. I recognized those mountainscapes as soon as I saw them! I have a few myself. Yours look much more crisp and clear though :):) Wemight be moving there when hubby retires, whatever God’s will is. I’d have to say, honestly, my favourite picture is the last one, where you are taking the selfie. That picture is edgy, and looks like it came straight out of a magazine.

Hi Maddy,
Pigeon Forge was on our tentative itinerary when we were in Hendersonville/NC on our “RailTrailsRoadTrip” [I’ll soon be posting about that] lately, but our time was too short. We did enjoy other parts of the Great Smokies, though.
Glad you had a great time there.
Cheers,
Pit

Preparing the post will take some time. Just now I’m still transferring my pictures to my desktop computer, giving them easy-to-recognize file names, and cataloguing them. After that it’ll be editing the pictures and writing the texts – for a total of a 21-day tour. But I’ll get through it – eventually. 😉
