OUR TRIP TO THE SMOKY MOUNTAINS!!!

WE WENT TO THE SMOKY MOUNTAINS IN TN THIS SUMMER AND HAD A BLAST!! THE SCENIC AREAS WERE BEAUTIFUL!! WE DID A HIKING TRAIL UP THE MOUNTAIN TO LAUREL FALLS AND THIS IS THE GORGEOUS WATERFALL THAT IS AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN. LIKE A CRAZY PERSON I DID NOT WEAR THE PROPER ATTIRE TO "HIKE" THE MOUNTAIN..I THOUGHT SINCE WE DROVE SOOO FAR UP IN THE MOUNTAIN WHEN WE GOT OUT OF THE TAHOE WE WOULD ONLY HAVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO WALK BUT BOY WAS I WRONG...WE STILL HAD MILES TO WALK STRAIGHT UP. AFTER THE WALK THE SIGHT WAS BEAUTIFUL!

THE WATERFALL @ LAUREL FALLS UP IN THE SMOKY MOUNTAINS

WE ALSO WENT TO THE AQUARIUM OF THE SMOKIES..IT WAS REALLY NEAT!!!

COOL FISH AT THE AQUARIUM

AND SHARKS....

THEN WE DID THE MOVING THEATER WHICH WAS REALLY COOL...WE DID 2 RIDES THE ROLLER COASTER AND 1 OTHER ONE....

WE RODE THIS SKI LIFT UP TO THE TOP OF THE SMOKY MOUNTAINS AND IT WAS SOOO NEAT...THIS IS KIND OF A VIEW LOOKING DOWN...AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU CAN SEE THE SMOKE COMING FROM THE DISTANT MOUNTAINS..IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!

AT THE TOP OF THE MTN. THEY HAD A SHOP WHERE YOU COULD GET OFF THE SKI LIFT AND SHOP AND THEN GET BACK ON AND HEAD BACK DOWN..THIS IS THE TOP VIEWING AREA...
