Smokey Mountain Vacation...

Yes, my dear husband treated me to a Smokey Mountain Vacation. We left last Sunday after church and drove down to the Condo that we had waiting for us. The leaves were just georgious. We weren't let down by the color.

We visited Cades Cove on Monday, traffic was really heavy and came to an almost standstill, so Tuesday we drove over to Cherokee, NC. It rained most of the day, but it wasn't too bad. The trees on top of the Smokies had lost a lot of their leaves and the color was gone & it was smokey. Most of the color was at the lower end of the mountains and round Gatlinburg and the surrounding areas. Of course, after the rain more leaves dropped and there was less color that when we arrived. But, on the whole it was beautiful!

We got to see 3 bear in town by our Condo. That was exciting. We watched them awhile and then went in. My husband said the police ran them out of town. I'm sure they enjoyed the excitement!

So, I did get to go to my favorite vacation spot. I am so happy!
