He Said. Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend our family went to the N.C. mountains and enjoyed the beauty of God's creation. Friday night we got a late start and didn't actually leave Anderson for Franklin until 9:15PM. When we arrived at the Sloan's farm, we went straight to bed. Saturday, my son and I rode the motorcycle to Bryson City where they were having a Memorial Day festival complete with live music and yummy junk food!
Around lunchtime Robin, her parents, and our girls joined us at the Deep Creek recreation area of Great Smokey Mountain National Park. What a beautiful and relaxing place. Even though I have been here many times since I was a young boy, I never tire of the relaxing sound of the rushing water. I also love taking a walk and then putting my tired feet in the icy water.

Later Saturday we walked around Bryson City and then finished the day with board games and dinner at the Fryemont Inn before the drive back to Franklin.

Sunday started with heavy rain showers before clearing and turning into a beautiful afternoon. Robin's Dad and I worked on running power down to the barn and then Robin and I ended the day with a short motorcycle ride and then a trip to the dairy queen.
