I wanted to have a spot where everyone could see what everyone had planned for the week. Everyone can definitely do their own thing (every day but Friday) but I figured people might want to coordinate and do things the same days. If you have anything planned and want everyone to know about it in case they want to come, just let me know and I'll add it.

During the day, Tristan and I will be running errands and picking up food and drinks in Knoxville. If anyone needs to be picked up at the airport, let us know.

Check in at the cabin is 4 PM.

In the evening, we were going to go downtown Gatlinburg, walk around, maybe try some moonshine and get some dinner.

During the day on Thursday, we were going to explore the national park and try and find some bears.

That evening we have the welcome dinner at Split Rail Eats at 5 PM.

Everyone will get ready at the cabin. Guests and Tristan will leave and head to Spence Cabin at 1 PM with a 2 PM ceremony time (it is a 30 minute drive). We'll have group pictures after the ceremony and then guests can return to the cabin and enjoy drinks and appetizers. We have a private chef Andrea coming to make everyone dinner that will be served at 5:30 PM. We are also having a bartender to serve drinks. After that, we'll have cake and desserts and just enjoy the rest of the evening.

We are going to take a 4 hour steam train ride through the Nantahala Gorge in the Smoky Mountains. It is through the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. They have open air cars so you can see the scenery. The train leaves at 10:30 AM and it is an hour and a half drive through the national park to get to the railroad. There is an hour long stop on the trip so you can get a bite to eat or just relax. You can purchase tickets ahead of time on the website. Let me know if you're planning on coming along.

Railroad so far: Tristan, Jess, Jeff, Shelley, Jake, Shane, Maddi, and Rowyn

We were planning on doing more driving and maybe hiking around the national park. A nice relaxing day.

We're planning on going to Dollywood for the day. Ride some rides, eat some food, and see some shows. Then we'll figure out a place to eat and celebrate Mel turning 21!!!

We are going to explore downtown Gatlinburg. Go to the aquarium and Anakeesta in the evening for the Astra Lumina show.

Check out is at 10 AM.
