July 27, 2015–Day 22 Cumberland Gap Day 1

Clean feet!  This little guy’s feet are not often clean when we are out and about camping.  I took a picture of Cody sleeping because he had his feet on his mat and his head on my pillow.  As often as I gently put him back onto his mat he put his little head right back onto my mat.  We both started the day a little exhausted. During breakfast Cody said, “Teton is probably a werewolf right now. Oww! Oww!” Teton howls when she misses us.  Thankfully Scott’s mom hangs out at our house now and then to keep Teton company.

July 25, 2015–Day 20 Ashville, NC

Our mission today: The Biltmore Estate.  After some morning snuggle and wrestling we headed out.  We were not allowed to take pictures inside the home, so we have some of the exterior.  This is a tour that would have been a disaster with the kids without the audio tour.  The Biltmore is the largest home in America with 250 rooms, 47 bathrooms, a two lane bowling alley, indoor swimming pool and 75 fireplaces. It was built between 1889 and 1895. George Vanderbilt borrowed one hundred dollars to make a ferry in New York and turned it into one hundred million dollars.

July 21, 2015–Day 16 Cherohala Skyway to Smoky Mountains

We woke up at our dispersed campsite and headed to a rest stop on the Cherohala Skyway to cook up our breakfast of porridge with a twist.  The rest stop did not have picnic tables in the shade like we hoped it would, but we managed to get eat in the shade of the clouds as they rolled in.  Scott brushed his teeth on the wall overlooking the valley.
