Smokey Mountains Camping Trip!

Our trip was crazy! The "great Smokies" are a lot of fun for anyone who has a love for photography! I was having a blast taking pictures, especially of the Laurel Falls. Oh, and we happened to sleep in a tent while it stormed all night. ;-)

We visited Gatlinburg, TN, and on a whim drove 30 miles from our campsite to Cherokee, North Carolina...just so we could add North Carolina to the states we've visited!

Lot's of hiking...we even hiked a short distance on the Appalacian Trail! Seriously that was like...majorly exciting! ;-) I know, I know, I'm a dork...


Before we left town, we stopped at starbucks for a much needed drink. I tried the new Iced Vanilla Coffee with milk...delicous! My new standard order: Venti Iced Coffee with Milk, two pumps hazelnut, whip cream and mocha drizzle. Oiiiii.....I can taste it now! We also made about...three other stops. Okay, so I'm an addict. True blue addict. I'll probably be the first admitted patient of the Starbucks Addict Recovery Center, when they open. ;-)



So here's to Starbucks, random camping trips....Ah, it's the Good Life!


...I'm already hoping for another trip soon!

You realize...you need to give up Starbucks in order to recover? I don't know. I may have to keep you on the good side...with Starbucks!!

The new drink sounds delish, I'll have to ask the fiance to bring one home tonight! :)
