Great Smoky Mountains

We spent two days at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which was celebrating its 75th anniversary. It was great fun. While most people enjoy the Park in the fall when the leaves change to a beautiful array of gorgeous colors, the green was very nice too.

The Mountains were great. As we drove and visited different parts of the Park, we took many pictures. The hardest part is to choose which ones to post!

After the trip, I came across this article by Dr. Billy Graham. Since he is from Charlotte, NC, he was teaching the Bible using illustrations of the scenery we had just witnessed firsthand at the Great Smoky Mountains!

Georgia

After Florida, we traveled to Georgia, where we met up with my other former roommates.

We had dinner at Sonny's - where else? Since my roomates and I met in Gainesville, that was only fitting. While Stephen and Lindsey looked at the camera, Sandy (my other roommate) was busy playing with Bethany!
