Smokey Mountains ~ May 2007

     While this was hardly my first time in the Smokies (my first trip was when I was 4 months old), this was Mr. B's first trip.  We went with my folks and my niece just a few weeks before the wedding.  Mr. B loved it so much that he said we must absolutely come back for our first anniversary.   And of course, we did!

My favorite spot in Cades Cove - this is the view from where Grandmother's house was.

While in the Cove, Mama Bear walked up towards the car.....

Uncle Bear and Peaches on a ride at Dollywood.

We hiked Laurel Falls and didn't lose anyone!
