Another time, another place

Today our family visited Cades Cove. What an absolutely gorgeous place to visit... right in the middle of the Great Smokey Mountains. What adventures we had! Maria's only hope was to see a bear... she actually saw 3 of them. One was right next to the car, lounging on the road! Pretty cool! We also ran into a pretty bad storm, unfortunately we only made it halfway around the loop before this happened. :( So the rest of the trip was kinda quiet and wet! But the first half made up for the wet afternoon. It was so interesting touring all the old, historical buildings, even Lydia loved it!
