It’s easy to have fun with family like this.
No real plans heading into this trip. The forecast called for rain so we kept our plans loose.
It was raining by hard when we got in so we stopped at a scenic Thai restaurant on a creek.
The trip included time on the main strip, Anakeesta for free (shout out rain check and that lady), delicious pizza at Smoky Mountain Brewery, tangier outlet mall, Roaring fork motor trail.
16 bears and a lot of laughs.
