MEN! Driving home from KY this weekend, we decided to stop in Gatlinberg, TN so my hubby and kids could see the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard. It's a free museum, so why not?? The problem is we should have turned around and headed for the highway instead of trying to take a "shortcut" through the Great Smokey Mountains. Although beautiful, it added 3 hours to our driving time. Some shortcut! Here is a view of what we saw.



The elevation dried out Tommy's trach, but he didn't seem to mind and laughed at us while we panicked for a second on what to do! (gave him some saline in his trach then drove down that mountain!)

It was a great road trip. We ended up in Cherokee, NC. Picked up some guide books and began home school lessons on the Cherokee Nation today. Matthew is loving it! Here is a look at what started our "adventure" to Gatlinburg!



Yes, that car is the Real Deal! It is one of the cars used for driving shots on the show. We got to see Rosco's sheriff car as well. Next time, we will plan the trip, take some extra time and cash with us and make a weekend out of Smokey Mountains!
