Day 3 - Beginning the Blue Ridge Parway
We got on the Blue Ridge Parkway just north of Cherokee, determined to do the entire route (with the exception of the closed portions).

Fall 2008 trip - Days 1 & 2
We got up the morning of Day 2 with some fantastic weather. The day started out with one of Laurie's mouthwater bacon and cheese biscuit. We started out on the Cherohala Skyway and the leafs are just starting to turn at the upper elevations.
We made a stop at Bald Knob Falls and while the water is down, it is still beautiful.
The scenic overlooks were plentiful and we got many really great photo's to remember our trip.
We met many others out doing the same thing we were, enjoying Mother Nature at her greatest.
We made a stop at Deals Gap for a ride on the Tail of the Dragon. We then jumped on the Foothills Parkway and made our way over to Gatlinburg. It is hard to believe that this is only day 2, we are having a great time.

My daughters first trip
This old ferry still operates across the Kentucky River south of Lexington. The skipper is very knowledgable about local history and it's worth taking a little extra time to talk.
We decided to stay in Gatlinburg and enjoyed a little shopping while in the area.
The next day was spent cruising the Smokey Mountain National Forest. The weather was perfect and so was the riding.
Many people have commented that this is something she will remember forever.
She's not the only one! They sure grow up fast.
We did make it to the HOOT one day and enjoyed all the activities. This was a special trip for me. I realize that one day my little girl will be out on her own and I want to spend as much time as possible with her now. Here is a little video that I put together about our trip.
