Smokey Mountain National Park






In late July, we took a family vacation to Tennessee.  One of the best parts was our tour through the Great Smokey Mountains National Park.  At Beth's suggestion, we started early.  It was a great idea as we missed the heavy traffic and we toured during the cooler part of the day (the heat rose to 98 degrees in the afternoon!)  During a time when we were the only car in a secluded area, we were fortunate enough to see a black bear crossing the road in front of us.  I'm not sure who was more surprised. Besides the bear, we saw lots of deer, wild turkeys and the most beautiful views of the mountains.
