Clingman's Dome!!

On Friday of our trip to the Great Smokey Mountains we took a trip up to Clingman's Dome. Memi stayed down where she could sit and enjoy the view while Pops, Daddy, Mommy, and Becca made the half a mile, paved, hike up to the top. Daddy and Pops took turns pushing the stroller up and holding it back as we quickly made out trip back down again. It was about 75 degrees at the top and it was VERY clear that morning and we could see a long way. Here are some pictures of us at Clingman's Dome.

We had a good time, after we left the Dome we decided to continue our drive through the mountains and go over into Cherokee where I found another mortar and pestle (this one is a marbled looking stone) and we just had to get Becca some moccasins too. Here she is showing them off.

We all sure do love the mountains!!! Overall I think Becca had a wonderful first vacation/Anderson family reunion. The first week in July entailed a lot of firsts for her, the first time she drank from a straw, the first time she went on vacation , the first time she stayed in a hotel, the first time she slept in a big bed, the first time she had/shared an ice cream cone, the first time she went to the mountains, the first time she went swimming, the first time she met her Anderson Family, and she was so good through everything but she sure was glad to get home and get back into her bed, Mommy and Daddy were too!
