... And You Get There In a Car

My sister Bonnie and her husband David and I recently traveled to Pigeon Forge, TN to vacation with my sister Betty and her husband Keith at their favorite spot in the Smoky Mountains.   Here are a few memories from our drive there.   I'll break the vacation up into more than one post because of the number of pictures .... (click photos to enlarge for better views.   I didn't do much editing of these photos ... only what was available through Picasa).


.... everything is somewhere else, and you get there in a car



.... it rained the entire way down to Tennessee.    But the redbud trees were in full bloom and they made the drive beautiful



.... a brief stop at Luray Caverns, where Gary and I went on our honeymoon more than forty years ago


















... redbud trees in bloom just outside the Luray Caverns entrance


... who can resist photographing a little girl admiring a little dog?





... to pass the time in the vehicle, I enjoy taking pictures of houses (through the windshield) ... we had a very brief respite from the rain



my dream car .... some day!     (sigh)


Bonnie and David .... taken at a rest stop somewhere in Virginia



... rest stop blossoms




Tennessee ..... yay!  (and it was STILL raining)


Hurrah!    The offices of Hidden Mountain Resort, less than a mile from our final destination!
