Great Smoky Mountains - Part 3

Hey everyone! Time for round three of the GSM pics, let's hope I can fit the rest of them into one post. Here goes nothin'!

This was one of my favorite parts of the trip! We went to Ober Gatlinburg and got to ride the sky lift high into the mountains. So much fun!

Dad and Em in the car behind us.


Going up!

 

The alpine slide ran underneath the lift as we went up.

Sooo high up!

Oh you know, just a guitar and a lunch box heading down on the lift. Great way to get things back and forth.


Almost to the top!

Made it to the top! Great view!






Going back down!


View of Ober down the mountain and Gatlinburg even farther in the distance.

Getting closer to the bottom.

Found this little cutie riding the train all by herself like a big girl! Go Bells!


So many beautiful flowers!

After the train she insisted on riding the cars about four times in a row. Even gave us her princess wave every time she passed.

Tired kiddos.

What a view from Ober Gatlinburg.


On our last full day in town we went back to the park and went on a hike up into the mountains to see Laurel Falls. It was over a mile uphill, but definitely worth it!

View from our hike!


Finally reached the falls! So amazing!




Tried to get a full view of the falls, but they were just too big.

Beautiful morning.


All in all I'd say it was an AMAZING trip, filled with lots of fun times spent with the family and memories I think we'll never forget. Can't wait to do it again next year! But how about the beach next time, huh guys? I haven't seen the ocean in far too long!
 
Love & Chaos,
