Grady's Birthday Trip - Part 2

On our second full day in Tennessee we went into the Smoky Mountains National Park. It was about a 45 minute drive over to Cade's Cove, where we spent most of the day, hiking and exploring the historical sites.

Stopping by the beautiful river

Grady, Gaga, and Mama rode the ski lift up to the top of a mountain in downtown Gatlinburg. It was super fun and the views were amazing!

That night we had a crazy dinner in Gatlinburg (about the worst service of my life, but Grady was a sport and had a sense of humor the whole time). The following morning it was time to head home. What a fun trip!
