We spent the day in Great Smoky Mountain National Park yesterday, hiking and looking for wildflowers. BIL and SIL, who live near here and are quite familiar with the area and the flora were our awesome tour guides.
I won’t even tell you how many pictures I took. I just love that pixels are free!
Today was a drive along the Cherohala Skyway in NC and TN. We started off with a beautiful waterfall and some more wild flowers, followed by some pretty vistas before DH got sick and we had to call it a day.
We will be returning home tomorrow if DH is well enough to travel. Spring comes to our area a little later, so we can hopefully do some hiking near home and find more wildflowers in the next couple of weeks. Despite his getting sick, this has been a wonderful trip, and we will be back. Thanks B&J!!
Our regularly scheduled programming will return in the next post. Until then….
Happy Spring! Sunny
DH and I talk often about driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway, ending up in the GSMNP. Your pictures are gorgeous and are making me think we need to plan that trip for sooner rather than later. ;-)
