Tori (Bates) Smith and Judson Bates
The newlyweds spent the first two nights in Gatlinburg so they could relax and enjoy the beautiful Smoky Mountains before traveling far. They met up with Gil and Kelly Bates for lunch on Monday so they could hand off the wedding gown and suit, and then they headed to the airport to fly out to California. Nathan Bates' hint about where they are is that they are continuing the winter wonderland theme. Any guesses as to what they might be doing?

They are probably skiing...at least that is my best guest.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess maybe Big Bear or maybe Mammoth. Hopefully if they went there, they got snow.
ReplyDeleteHey they are out here in California and if they are continuing the winter wonderland. They must be in Big Bear, Julian or Mountain High. Well where ever I hope they have a amazing time making memories.
ReplyDeleteI guess that they are in Sacramento and San Diego, California for the biggest Christmas lights shows in the country. Hope they're having an awesome honeymoon. Tori has to return to school in January for her last term, right?
ReplyDeleteYes, that's correct. She has one more semester of school left.

Skiing- I'm from the northern California/ northern Nevada area and we just got snow today!! There's some beautiful place in northern California for continuing a winter wonderland theme, especially around Lake Tahoe. I wonder if they'll be back in Tennessee for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLake Tahoe?
ReplyDeleteSince the location is continuing the 'Winter Wonderland' theme, I'm thinking Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead
ReplyDeleteMust be Disney
ReplyDeleteKom
Disney Land! At least that's my guess. ;)
ReplyDeleteDisney World is a lot bigger and closer to Tennessee, so I would assume that if they wanted Disney they would have gone to the florida resort. Bobby is from the Orlando area though, so I doubt he wanted Disney as I'm sure he's been many times.
DeleteDisneyland?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Mammoth Mountain. The elevation is high enough to be getting plenty of snow. Yosemite may be getting snow? My parents spent part of their honeymoon at Mammoth in 1948. I got altitude sickness at Mammoth! Ha! Congratulations, Bobby and Tori! From Patricia
ReplyDeleteMy guess is lake Tahoe❤
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Tori
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness you are right! Happy birthday Tori!
DeleteAlaskan Cruise
ReplyDeleteAlaska cruises only go through September...
DeleteAlaskan cruises usually only run between May and September. :)
DeleteI hope they are having a great time wherever they are. What a beautiful couple. I can't wait to see there wedding. I love the bates family.
ReplyDeleteTORI LOOKS SO GOOD IN HER WEDDING DRESS JUDSON LOOKS SO HANDSOME LOOKS JUST LIKE GIL. LILY & ELLIE I HAVE A QUESTION DID THE BATES INVITE ASHLEY TO THE WEDDING IF SO ARE THERE PICTURES OF HER AS A GUEST OR BRIDESMAID?

Alaska? Random and probably not but they would have lots of snow!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a year of happiness and blessings. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY TORI
Joan,Marion and Marilyn
Alaska
ReplyDeleteRead again- they went to CALIFORNIA
Deletewhat else does a person do in California, but go to Disney land?
ReplyDeleteLol! There are MANY things to do in California besides disney land XD
DeleteCA is huge! Lots to do! Ski!
ReplyDeleteTahoe?
ReplyDeleteBig Bear would be my guess.
ReplyDeleteFor skiing- Lake Tahoe or Mammoth Mountain. For a Wonter Wonderland- Disneyland is decked out for Christmas. San Diego has many activities at Balboa Park decorated for holidays. Plus world famous zoo. San Diego is noted for the best climate in the country. Yosemite at Christmas is wonderful also. Honestly, CA has more diverse options than any state& I say that with no digs to the rest of our wonderful US. Merry Christmas to everyone from here in So Cal & welcome to visit us.
ReplyDeleteWedding looked absolutely from the pictures. I pray for blessings in the future.
