On the way there, we took a little (unintended) detour down the Foothills Parkway, which had several sharp turns and was pretty steep, but the lookouts along the way were breathtaking, so Lauren wanted to stop to get a picture.
And after we got there, we had to come down this driveway (which is even steeper than it looks) and is a pain to get both up and down.
Katie Margaret wanted to ride the skylift, but we figured Meg would have a cow, so we compromised and put her in the chair in front of the ticket window.
Then Katie Ebers and I went up to the top of the mountain and hung out for a little bit. Its amazing how even on top of the mountain, the gift shops sell useless crap.
And then we went to the a little mall there and Dad wanted to wander into the Western shop (why I don't know). Tom randomly put a hat on and I snapped a picture of him being a giant dork.
And of course, I had to do the same, because I was bored in that stupid store. All my Dad's fault.
Thought this was funny. This is what happens when the Air Force runs out of bombs and decides to get rid of some rednecks. Don't make the government mad, or they'll drop a house on your parking lot, too.The weekend was a great break from work, and Lauren and I both enjoyed seeing the family, especially Katie Margaret, who has gotten so much bigger. Next up, pictures from our trip the next weekend to Dandridge, Tennessee, across the lake for Lauren's great aunt's 80th birthday, and then pics from Lauren's parents visiting Charlotte.
