The title is a bit of a misnomer, since we were in North Carolina already when we got to the Great Smoky Mountains. No matter, we spent quite some time - a week - in the state, not only sightseeing but also visiting with friends and family.
After the mountains, we went to Charlotte to visit with Chad and Angel, whom we had not seen in quite some time. We had a nice dinner at their back porch before Wii (again!). At first, all four of us were playing a variety of games and having loads of fun, but after Angel went to bed, and Chad and Hubby continued to talk engineering on an increasingly intense level, I was the only one playing Wii (tennis, what else?), and ended up with a sore shoulder the following day. My opinion that Wii tennis was more difficult than real tennis held.
Tennis and Wii aside, we had a great time.

The barn, where the exhibits are located. It was amazing and humbling to walk through the cross (i.e. the entrance).
Dr. Graham's preaching Bible. Another one of my favorite pictures.
The Graham family home moved on site brick by brick.
Mrs. Graham's tombstone. The Chinese character on top means "righteousness," formed in two parts: the "Lamb" on top and "I" or "me" at the bottom. Mrs. Graham was born in China to missionary parents. The flowers were from Dr. Graham.
