Car packed; we are ready to go! |
After 20 miles, we stop for a windy snack |
Only 1450 miles to go, we feel great! |
Smoky sunset |
A dozen breakfast tacos doesn't go as far as it once did in this family... |
Annie gets her morning nourishment |
Waiting for their coffee |
Sisters in deep conversation. |
Our secret arsenal |
Kristina: "Roll the windows down!" |
Annie: "Turn up the music!" |
Simon: "How much farther?" |
We will use this to blackmail her later |
Annie wants to take control |
Too tired to drive |
A break to stretch our legs |
Simon is stretching ALL of his muscles |
Annie makes a fashion statement with her shorts |
Our sweetie |
Finally, we are in Lake City |
Cousins try to beat the heat |
Tractor rides |
Airplane rides |
On the road again: snack break while Matt checks the oil |
Curbside loungers |
Simon breaks up the party |
They still love each other |
"Whoa, those trees are so tall..." |
Annie likes the Smoky Mountains |
The perfect campsite |
Camp setup |
Simon checks out the creek |

Morning creek explorers |
"Wait, let's get Daddy!!" |
Rockhopping |
Only a few shoes got wet |
Heading out for a hike |
Another creek crossing |
"Are you sure we're supposed to go this way?" |
No fear |
Photographer's assistant |
Trailblazer |
Kristina's best find |
Where does the bridge lead? |
"Which way now?" |
Bringing up the rear |
An old Appalachian homesite |
Almost back to the campground |
High five for a great hike |
Simon takest the fastest way back to camp |
Time to hydrate |
Time for a snack |
Fruit delivery |
Simon's turn |
I think she is trying to feed her foot |
Now she wants to see what she just sat in |
This is pretty fun |
Good view of the Smokies |
"Let's keep driving!" |
