Day 334

Today we left Tennessee and stopped at a Christmas tree farm on the way home.  Here is a photo of me and JC by our tree.  Emma really wanted to take photos with the big camera.  Love Brendan photobombing the shot!

Happy Thanksgiving 2013

Day 331

Today is Thanksgiving Eve!  We drove to Gatlinburg, TN this afternoon.  We had clear skies until we got to Asheville, and then the snow started.  It was a little scary at times driving on I-40 in the Pisgah National Forest.  It took us almost an hour longer than we had planned, but we finally made it!  We have an amazing log cabin where we will celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow.  This is our view off the back deck:

Amazingly this is not a black and white photo…it just looks like one!
