We then went back to the hotel to get cleaned up and meet AngieBelle for dinner at the Apple Barn in Sevierville...It was nice to talk to Angie again..:)

Our 3rd and final day consisted of biking through Townsend on the paved bike trail, and then we headed back home to our girls..:)
The trip went great, and the weather couldn't have been better..:)

I understand your frustration from losing this earlier!

Sounds like a really fun weekend. Your photos are absolutely gorgeous! There are many of them that look like they could be postcards or put into a calendar (I mean that as a compliment!) :)

The one with the moss covered fallen tree in the foreground is really beautiful. It's so tranquil looking! :)

It must have been nice to have some time for you and your DW!

Hey, I think I have some similiar pics from a few years ago (somewhere:confused: ). Great pics.:) I like the waterfall pics.:)
 
Beautiful pictures!! I love Cades Cove, it's one of my favorite places in the Smokies. It always feels so serene (even with hundreds of cars doing the loop-LOL).

Looks like you had a great time!
 
Wonderful photos, Shep! (This is my DH's next place to travel on his wish list!)

Sounds like you and Amanda had a great "just the two of us" trip!
