Howard Hilton Getaway In Pictures

Thought I would share a few photos from this weekend.

The Howard Hilton (My version of roughing it):



The view from my penthouse suite:



The Village In Gatlinburg:





Keith's favorite Hot Spots:

Favorite early morning stop (or any time of day for that matter). The Pancake Pantry...right next door to the Ole Smoky Candy Kitchen:



Favorite place to shop. The Harley Shop:



One of my favorite stops. The coffe shop:



A new discovery:



This might look innocent enough, but it is lethal to a diet!



And finally...I really scored! Take a look at these:





And my MOST favorite:



Shhhh! Don't tell Keith, but I think I came out waaayyyy ahead. He traded the handbags for an extra donut!

  3. Handbag or a donut? Thank goodness I don't like donuts. Now if only my husband can figure out how to make me not like handbags, he'll be a happy man... :-)

  9. Loving your penthouse view and that beautiful little village reminds of of Disney World. Now... I need to pull that trick with my husband but since he does not really care for doughnuts because he's a health freak I have to find his weakness :D :D: D By the way, thank you for your sweet and hilarious post.

  14. Gatlinburg is so picturesque! Those donuts are making my mouth water. Nice view from your suite ;)

  15. How fun!!! We love donuts so we're always excited to find good ones. When we went to St. Louis a couple years back there was this little place right down the road w/ awesome donuts and we ate them for breakfast every day. So much fun :)

    Yay for the handbags! I'm such a simple girl that I don't usually shope for anything except scrapbook supplies...that's my downfall. Luckily they aren't all that expensive. I tell my DH he should feel lucky b/c I could like expensive jewelry instead ;)

    Glad you 2 had a fun weekend!
