Heading to the Smoky Mountains

We left for Gatlinburg this morning. It was a long drive, but we made it safe and sound. On the way down, we usually stop at the rest stop in Jellico, TN to enjoy a picnic lunch and meet up with Mom, Dad, Katie, and Andy and then carpool the rest of the trip. It was closed for renovation, so we ended up eating at Wendy's with them and saving our packed lunches to enjoy at dinner. The cabin is great and has lots of space for all 17 of us to spread out.
