The Mountains are Smokin’.
Aug/103
Our trek to the Smokies was our second this year. It was a bit unexpected. Chad & Karen decided about a month ago to take a vacation there and invited us to join them for a few days. It seems we’re in the habit of vacationing with them once a year, so a trip with them was nearly due. (We went to Annapolis and Washington DC together in September 2008, visited family in Alabama together in September 2009, and went to Atlanta for a U2 concert in October 2009.)
With a big vacation just around the corner for us that will involve more visiting, driving, and city hanging, we decided having a lower key vacation about getting away and just relaxing would be a good pre-cursor.
There were splendid views…
Time with the Bowmans…
Walking around town one afternoon…
Reading and hanging…
Resting…(while still enjoying the amazing view…)
Star-gazing…
Hiking in the National Park… (and spotting a deer!)
What’s your ideal vacation look like? City-goer, mountain-hiker, beach sun-bather, stay-cationer?

Trevor was very excited about two recent acquisitions…
A “Share the Road” license plate and an “I love Mountains” bumper sticker!
I’m glad the little things bring him such joy…
Here’s wishing my best friend for life a very happy birthday, with joys big and small every day!
Ya lyublyu tebya, moya milen’kaya loxmataya obyez’yanka!
Oh Baby Oh.

It’s another cute attack! Check out this adorable outfit — straight from her Ethiopian homeland at that!
I am completely digging the long baby skirt.
The proud Aunt & Uncle with the Natbo on her baby dedication day last Sunday.
I think we all love each other!
Cute Attack.

Photos taken last Friday, while enjoying a day with my niece.
Her shirt was so adorable – I’m wishing for rainbows too! (That means rain for the flowers to grow, and sunshine in the skies!) A tear was still on her cheek after having to say bye to mommy and daddy…
Having fun with bubbles… they never fail to make her smile…
