I don't know what it is but vacation goes by way too fast. Day 1 we left early on Saturday morning, stopping to see Savannah Georgia. It was a beautiful city with lots of little squares and old buildings and the cemetery looked more like a park. We arrived in Canton (near Asheville) around 6:45 pm at Wanda's house, who was nice enough to invite us up for the holidays.
Day 2 we drove to Grandfather Mountain with my dad to do some hiking and walk across the swinging bridge.
The blue ridge parkway was closed due to a rock slide so we didn't get to drive it.
We also stopped and hiked 3 miles to Linville Falls. The view was amazing with lots of snow on the ground.
Day 3 was our day in downtown Asheville. First stop was the Arts District where the local artists create and sell their goods. In the city we walked several blocks. We ate lunch and drank beer.
Day 4 we drove over the Smoky Mountains and did some hiking on the Tennessee side.
The hike was to Laurel Falls. The dog had a blast since we took him off the leash and let him hike the trail on his own. 
We arrived at my mom's house around 4:30 and relaxed for the day.Day 5 my mom , Ricky, Jesse and myself walked through Gatlinburg and had lunch. We took the ski lift to the top of the mountain to take in all the wonderful views.
After much shopping we drove through the park for a few hours and through Pigeon Forge.
Day 6 was Thanksgiving so lots of eating and being lazy along with a serious game of Monopoly. Wanda fixed a great Thanksgiving feast. Katie, her boyfriend and a few friends were there as well.
Day 7 we hiked through Chimney Rock and several trails.
We packed a lunch and ate by the falls. 
We decided to drive through Black Mountain and walk around this cute little town.
Stopping only for a few brews and a few games of Foosball.Day 7 was the long drive home....
