Since my childhood, our family had a rhythm of life that involved working hard all year and then escaping off to the Smokey Mountains for vacation. We tried to vacation elsewhere, but I think the Smokeys just called to my parents like a second home.
It's only fitting then, that they would eventually build a physical home there. I've been excited to think of my dad enjoying the fruits of so many years of hard work, and my mother finally getting to sew in a studio that overlooked the mountains. The home was finished about a month before we arrived at our next stop on the vacation: Townsend, TN. This new mountain home needed to be broken in with a full family gathering.
The week was full of beautiful people and beautiful scenery. This post is dedicated to the scenery, with one to follow that shall be full of people.
