Tennessee Vacation

My family likes to try to go on vacation about once a year. We were planning on going to Disneyland, however, we decided to go to Dollywood in Tennessee to go somewhere new. On this vacation my sister, mother, aunt, two cousins, and grandmother all went to Dollywood in June 2018.

What to pack:

  • Shorts & tee shirts
  • Dresses
  • Cowgirl hats to keep the sun off of your face
  • Sunscreen
  • Backpack/ some sort of pack to carry your things around
  • Camera or cell phone
  • Water bottle!! (We bought one at the park, and we could get refills for $1. This included any Coke products)
  • Nice outfit for going out
  • Swim suit to go to the swim park in Dollywood
  • Flannels for the aesthetic 
The following is what we did on each day:

Christmas Bucket List

I needed to find some Christmas cheer this December, so I decided to make a Christmas bucket list. Because I enjoyed my October/November bucket list (click here to view), I decided to make a December bucket list. I mean "it's the most wonderful time of the year." However, I did not leave the house much, and I was super focused on finals as it was my first term in the masters program. I did a lot of my bucket list at home, and some when I spent time with my boyfriend (which took a lot of convincing, and he didn't even realize that we were doing some of the things). I celebrated a couple of December birthdays as well. There was not as much snow as we normally get, so I wasn't able to do a lot of the snow related activities.
