We got the chance to bum a ride with my family to Tennessee over Memorial Day weekend. My nephew, Kaleb, competed in the Global finals of Destination Imagination (it was Odessey of the Mind when I was in school). So we all headed to the Smokey Mountains! (Sorry I didn't call, Courtney...there was no opportunity to meet with you!)
Davey did wonderfully in the car seat on the way down. I don't know how, but he slept the whole way only waking up once to eat. All 11 of us were in one big cabin in the woods and he slept really well. I don't think we woke anyone up during the night! He especually liked the porch swing.
We hiked to the top of Clingman's Dome (third higest peak east of the Mississippi). I had Davey in the carrier and Josh pushed my 2 year old neice Rachael in the stroller. Josh had a much harder time that I did! There is a picture of us at the top. We also set foot on the Appalactian Trail...we would love to hike it one day. But there is now way to do that with kids!
The thing Davey misses the most now that we are home is the constant entertainment of his four cousins, Kaleb, Isaak, Eliza, and Rachael. Too bad they can be around more often! Now that school is out we will have to go and visit.
