091011 A Drive Through The Great Smoky Mountian National Park
We took the scenic route back from Gatlinburg, TN. First stopping in Pigeon Forge, so that Jerrad could finish using his go-cart passes, and Josh could finish his quest for tickets at the arcade.
The traffic was pretty heavy until we got inside the park... from there nothing but gorgeous views. We stopped along side the road to do a bit of creek stomping and again at the top, (the highest point in Tennessee and North Carolina).
After we headed off to Hendersonville for some apple picking. Turns out you pick the apples out of big bins and they are more expensive then what you find in the store. Mom was none to happy, but we managed to get a big bag of apples and the a couple of carmel apples for the ride back.
