Blaine and I spent about 10 days driving from Houston to Washington DC. Some of our favorite times were spent in the Smokey Mountains in Tennesee.
Gatlinburg, Tennesee:  Blaine found his own Grill & Bar in the mountains of Tennesee. On the left is the Sky lift taking you high above the city - what a view!
Ok ok, so I do admit it. We did go to ONE Christmas store while we were there. But I did NOT buy anything. --->
Below, autumn display at the base of the skylift.
The National Cathedral - an amazing place to visit. Pictures can't do this place justice!
The Capitol - not in scaffolding this time.
The Korean Monument: the soldiers marching through the field with the marble wall containing etchings of actual soldiers.
The Elephant Parade in DC. Similar to the cows that were in Houston recently.
