I just got back from a little trip. We can't think of anywhere else to go so we go to the Smoky Mountains. This time we went to Boone, NC and drove back down the Blue Ridge Parkway to Cherokee NC and blew a few bucks at the Indian casino, then over the mountains to Pigeon Forge. We were gone for 3 days and I'm ready to go again. I just can't get enough of the mountains. We won't be going again in July though. It's the busiest time of the year and we don't like crowds.
