May 2012: Roadtrip, eastbound

Five people in a car for 3,000 miles: who knew it would be so fun? We made a mad dash along I-40 to Lake City, TN for a family reunion right after the school year ended in Albuquerque. Thankfully, we then slowed the pace with some camping in Great Smoky Mountains National Park before heading home.
Car packed; we are ready to go!
