Weekend Getaways

This past weekend, we went Pigeon Forge, TN. For a short trip, I never realized the amount of pre-planning that went into it. Getting everyone's clothes ready, taking some snacks and drinks, finding a nice hotel, and all of the other odds and ends that needed taken care of. It was also difficult because, we were meeting friends and wanted to have rooms near each other.

That is why I was so excited, when I learned about this new contest from Hampton Hotels. They want to make it easier for friends and families to connect with each other this summer.
