Labor Day Vacation

For Labor day this year we met Barrett's parents, Jessica and Lucas, and Kathy and Walker in Gatlinburg for a long weekend. We shopped, hiked, ate good food, and had a blast together.

Warning: Bears...please note that this sign was not posted on the trail where we saw the bear (see below). This bear crossed the path just in front of us.

Giant Tree

This is the beginning of our hike to Ramsey Cascades when we were still excited to be there. By the end of the 8 miles we wanted to die.

Puzzle Fail

This is a beautiful puzzle but we are missing a piece. I don't know if it was missing from the beginning or if we lost it. Ever since we found out it was missing we just stopped caring and never wanted to finish it. I guess I'll just have to buy another one so that we can do it with all the pieces because this was a puzzle of one of our favorite places in Rome.

New Car

My dad asked for car pictures so here they are. We had to get rid of the Explorer because it failed the Georgia emissions inspection so we upgraded to a Nissan Pathfinder.
