Great Smoky Mountains
Since Marc couldn't take a long vacation this summer, we decided to spend a few days in Gatlinburg, TN with my brother's family and my parents. The trip started out a little rough with a morning of rain and no electricity (AAAGH, no TV, computers, video games...we were forced to interact!), but it picked up quickly. Here's what we did.

We found a great little paved trail and went for a little hike by the river. Remember our whole morning of rain? It made for a rapid river (and a nervous mom!)
Why is it so hard to take a family picture?
The next morning, we found a yummy local pancake house in which to stuff ourselves, then boarded this trolley for a trip into Gatlinburg.
We putt-putted.
We found a calmer spot of water where our nervous mother actually let us get our feet wet.
We rode an aerial tram (imagine you and 100+ other people suspended by wire hundreds of feet above mountains and trees...) to a little amusement park.

Glad you had fun in Gatlinburg! We went there for our honeymoon and couldn't make it back up the hil to get back to our room...because it snowed! They rarely get snow so nobody would give us a ride to our place. It made for an adventure! There's always a story with Gatlinburg.
