Smoky Mountains of North Carolina

 We got a super cheap bed and breakfast deal in Waynesville, NC for two nights and traveled up there after Corey's graduation. It was so refreshing to see mountains! I think I took about a million pictures, as you will see below. We spent most our time eating awesome food, seeing the sites in the Smoky Mountain National Park, and touring the small shops in Waynesville.We were all in desperate need of a vacation and we left with "our buckets full"!







 Smoky, huh?!?





 Lake Junaluska (2 miles of property owned by the Methodists)

Here in N.C. everybody loves Jesus.

Old fashioned "play" guns from the Mast General Store.

Shooting at the butterfly and ducks.


Some of you might remember that about 4 years ago Corey had a fixation with light-weight backpacking and always talked about how he would go on a backpacking excursion on the Appalachian Trail someday. 

I'm sure he didn't image it quite like this, but we took a little "hike" along the Appalachian Trail and tried to "fulfill" our Dad's dream. :)




We touched the upper right corner of Tennesse, so now I can mark that state off my list. :)

Our adorable bed and breakfast

 Goodbye Mountains...until next time.

    Yeah, I think if Corey had been planning to hike the trail he would have brought something more than flip-flops! ;) Just a thought! That's sweet of you to fulfill his dream though...
