A Mountain Experience

We were blessed to enjoy a little get away for a few days with no interruptions ( except for calls about Scott’s office alarm going off usually between 10:00 and 4:00 a.m. every night).  The beauty of the universe, especially the Smokies, amaze me.

From the waterfalls at Rainbow Falls and Abrams Falls to the awesomeness (is that a word?) of Alum Cave Bluff to just breathing the mountain air is an experience that is like none other.

The 2 most amazing things about hiking 6 miles a day on mountainous terrain that the children still had the energy every night to go swimming until the waterpark at the lodge closed and the fact that we exercised what seemed like all day and night and still managed to gain a few pound!  Is that crazy or what?
