Smoky Mountains

Yesterday we all piled in the Jeep, it was tricky getting the dog in with everything else.  Before we left Anthony gave me chocolates and a card for mothers day.  Diesel did pretty well during the drive.  We stopped and got lunch at a drive through and he poked his head up asking where his food was ;) 

We stopped at Smoky Mountain Knife works before we got to the cabin.  Jacob and I stayed outside with Diesel.  We got them out and walked him and gave him some water.  We managed to get him back in the Jeep just the two of us! 

After we got to the cabin and brought the dog and our clothes in we headed back out to find dinner and Walmart.  We couldn't bring any food with us because we brought the dog and he is pretty huge.  One of the main reasons we picked this cabin was because it said it had a charcoal grill.  Well they didn't, only a propane gas one.  And it wasn't a very good one at all!  The burners were touching the grill top.  So at Walmart we found a small little charcoal grill for 15 dollars. 

We got up this morning and headed into the National Park.  We went the south eastern part of the park.  We took some dirt roads up and down mountains.  It took us over and hour to go 16 miles!  The roads weren't really bad just very winding.   We got back to the cabin and cooked hamburgers on out little grill.  And we made smores afterwards! 

We had lunch at this really cool rock,

Were even on the Blue Ridge Parkway for a little bit today!!!
