We Continue Our Travels!

We finished the Blue Ridge Parkway by traveling to Grandfather Mountain and walking across the mile high bridge. We were amazed at the difference in the fall colors. Just 3 days after leaving the Parkway, there were no leaves or fall colors on the Parkway!!
On Tuesday, we went and toured Biltmore. What a beautiful home and they were decorating for Christmas as we toured the estate. Since we won't have a Christmas tree in the motor home, viewing 52 trees in Biltmore helped me fill that void (I don't think Ken cares)!

From Asheville, NC we drove to Chattanooga, TN and toured a Civil War battlefield, Lookout Mountain, Rock City, Ruby Falls and the Incline Railway! While we were there, it hailed and temperatures at night got down in the low 30's! Brrrrr!
Now we're in Atlanta in a campground on the backside of Stone Mountain. Ken lived in Smyrna in the late 50's so we're walking down memory lane again. Of course a lot has changed, but it's always nice to see old stomping grounds. From here we go to my brother's house and we'll be there for a week. We feel the need to just go some place and "sit".  See you again!
