Way down in Dixie

Just got back from Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where my sister Rebekah and my new brother-in-law Ben got married. It was an outdoor ceremony in Cades Cove, part of the Smoky Mountains National Park.



The views were amazing.



Koby and Gillian had fun exploring.



Boots were worn by many (but not all).



We even made our way to Dollywood the next day, where Koby, Dennis and Grandpa rode the teacups...or as my brother refers to them, the D-cups.



Koby and I rode the flying elephants, which proves my old saying: "Me in Dollywood? Yeah. When elephants fly!"



Mother and her parasol look almost natural in front of Ye Olde Soape Shoppe.



And finally, pancakes were enjoyed by all. Hard to miss them when every third building is a pancake restaurant.
