The Great Smokies/Creation Museum Stories and Photos!

We had an amazing time in the Smoky Mountains this Spring. The weather was perfect for hiking and we did plenty of it. We stayed in a time-share community with 100's of condos and about 15 Tree Lofts. We were blessed to be in the tree lofts and got to spend a week literally on our own... that's right, we didn't share a bedroom wall with any neighbors. It was amazing to talk in a normal voice at night! This is our tree loft!


We hiked to several waterfalls and enjoyed some beautiful views. The first waterfalls we went to was the most celebrated as it is the one Brandon couldn't find last year. It actually isn't on the trail maps so it is sort of a secret falls. The whole time we were near the falls (almost an hour) we didn't see a single person. This is quite a change from standing in line to get your picture taken at most falls. This is us by Baskins Falls! It is actually pretty tall, but the photo makes it look shorter since we are standing and much closer to the camera!

We made it to Cade's Cove again this year. The TV series Christy was filmed there. I highly recommend the series as it is clean, God honoring, family entertainment in a BEAUTIFUL setting!!!! Brandon and Shelly in Cade's Cove!




This is the view from the top of the Mountain pass where Tennessee meets North Carolina... Breathtaking. The layers of Mountains seem to go on forever. We went there on Brandon's 30th Birthday!


We ended our trip at the Creation Museum outside of Cincinnati. If you ever make it to that part of the US I HIGHLY recommend attending. It is very scientific and very Bible based. We both learned a lot and enjoyed the quality of the Museum.
We are so thankful to have had this wonderful time together!
