Oops, I forgot to add in two great pictures from the Gatlinburg vacation. The one below was taken at DollyWood while Katherine and I were riding on the Tennessee Tornado roller coaster.
And then the one below was taken in Pigeon Forge on some kiddie ride:
We sure had fun up there in the Great Smoky Mountains. Since we had cabins, we grilled out like every day. For the trip up I bought a cassette adapter that one end you stick into a cassette deck in your car and the other end fits into your MP3 player. It worked, but the Volvo rattles and roars so much that you couldn’t really enjoy the audio books and short stories that I had piled onto it.
