Views of the Smokies


Kelvin and I headed west on another roadtrip from Virginia to see the Kitsteiners in Tennessee, a state new to us both.

On the way to Great Smoky Mountain National Park, we swung by Dolly Parton's hometown, Sevierville, and took an obligatory photo by the statue.



We discovered that Great Smoky Mountain National Park is THE most visited National Park in the U.S. !!! It certainly was scenic (and, as a bonus, it had free entry which we were so not used to!)

At Newfound Gap, straddling the TN/NC state line.


Views of the Smoky Mountains, which were named for their bluish haze by the Cherokee Indians


 We enjoyed a short hike to Laurel Falls.


We made it to the Kits' house in the afternoon and have really enjoyed hanging out with the kiddos and exploring the Nashville area today (pics/posts to follow soon.  Or see Wendi's awesome blog :)).
