Our Very First ROAD TRIP!! (part two)

After we left the Clair's in Gallatin (TN) we headed toward Ober-Gatlinburg. We were determined to see snow even if it was the man made kind. Our friends The Kimbrough's met us there.

FYI - GPSs are not always right and sometimes can make a trip much longer then it has to be.

Here's more of the Smokey Mountains...Ahh, isn't beautiful!!

Taylor cheesin' it up for the camera.

I didn't get many pictures at Ober-Gatlinburg because we made it there as it was closing. But I thought this picture of Ray and Cathy ahead of us going through the tunnel as we drove down the mountain was really neat.

After we left Ober-Gatlinburg we drove down to Georgia where The Kimbrough's live.

Making new memories and rebuilding friendships = PRICELESS!!

Rachelle and Taylor

These girls were inseparable.

Bryce and Chris

If you would have told me that this visit would have turned out this GREAT...I would have never believed you.

Caitlan, Rheanna and Chelsie

Keeping them up 'til 2am wasn't the best of ideas...but we didn't want to miss one minute!

Ok, so we kinda found snow.

We had taken the kids to the skating ring and it was closed to the public. The kids were really disappointed so we decided to let them play in the "snow" from the zamboni. It was a small 15ft x 6ft pile of ice shavings that the kids had the best time having a snow ball fight. The four adults were have a great time watching the kids until they decided to start including us.

LOVE IT!!

p.s. we had just been stung in the side of the head by a rouge snowball..."yeah, really fun Rheanna!!"

Ray and Cathy

It was so great to rekindle our friendship with The Kimbrough Family.

I hope we will never let this much time pass again.....
