A Quickie Vacation

Its been such a busy summer, but we finally manged to get away for a few days for some family time. We escaped to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee earlier this week, to a beautiful log cabin with an incredible view. We spent lots of time exploring Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Smoky Mountain National Forest. We even managed to get a hike in up to Grotto Falls. We did some shopping at the fabulous outlet malls, and even took the girls for their first experience with mini-golf. I took tons of photos of course, and it will take me forever to catch up on editing, but I promised the girls we would make a book out of the photos from our trip.

Here are just a few that I've edited so far. The rest will have to wait until I'm done editing a few client sessions. =)
