Cincinnati is about 4 hours from Gatlinburg...well, it's usually about 5 nowadays because of all the traffic. I can't even count the number of times I've been there, from the time I was a kid to just a couple years ago. We almost went last weekend as kind of a birthday/anniversary trip, but it was last minute and just about everything was booked already since it was the holiday weekend. Part of me wishes we had been able to go so we could have seen it again before the fire. The whole thing makes me sad...every time they show something burned on the news, it's something I remember.
