Knoxville Weekend

I had a very exciting first weekend in Knoxville. My boyfriend Reid came to visit so we began by going to the $2 theater in town and seeing the  movie Hanna. We were both so excited to find such a cheap theater. It was such a nice change from the regular $9 movie. Hanna was a very action packed movie and turned out differently than I expected, we enjoyed it! We then went downtown to the square and ate sushi and walked around. Great first day!

The next day we decided we wanted to go hiking. I am not an outdoor's person but I try to go with him occasionally because I know he enjoys it. We thought an hiking trail would be close to Knoxville, but we ended up traveling an hour to Gaitlinburg, TN and visited Laural Hill Falls. It was labeled an "easy" hike and it was 1.4 miles long. If that was easy I would hate to see advanced. We were able to do it with no problems, but it was not as easy as we expected. When we reached the top the falls it was beautiful and we found a flat rock at the bottom to eat lunch and hang out. It is a very touristy spot so there were a lot of people everywhere but it was a lot of fun. The trip back down was easier but we were very ready to get off that mountain. It was such a fun day and it was a nice change to the flat Georgia land we are use to. We ate dinner at Cru' and went to our first Super Target, which was awesome!

Sunday we went to Fellowship Church and enjoyed worship. Reid had to leave early because he had a 7 hour drive ahead. The weekend went by quickly but it was very enjoyable and it was nice to find so many fun things to do in Knoxville! Can't wait for many more this summer!
