Summer Vacation in Tennessee

We came up with a really good way to spend our economic stimulus check...

Let's go on vacation!

A week before our family reunion in Arkansas we headed down to Tennessee. Bryanna got to have some very special one-on-one time with Grandma and Grandpa because we figured our hiking and sight-seeing plans in Gatlinburg would be a bit much for a 10 month old baby. That following weekend she traveled all the way to Arkansa with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Patrice to meet up with us at the reunion.

We had such a wonderful trip. We hope to go back again when the kids are older and try some longer hikes. The kids did so well - even Clara! She is only three, but she would hike out for a good two hours on her own two feet to earn a ride back on her Daddy's shoulders.

The smoky mountains are so beautiful!
