Smoky Mountains vacation June 2014
In June 2014 Kathy and I spent four days in Smoky Mountains National Park. We had been there 23 years prior, when Kathy was pregnant with Lauren. This was our first vacation without kids since before kids, so it had been a while. We went with no schedule, got up when we got up, ate when we felt like it, and went for as long as we wanted each day. We saw a total of ten bears in the four days, including twin cubs on two occasions. We hiked 3.6miles round trip to Andrews Bald to see the azaleas in bloom, and followed that with 1.0mile round trip up Clingman's Dome. It was a great trip.
