Look! We're in two places at once!
Could Lily be the youngest to walk the Appalachian Trail?

She's in there somewhere.

So I know that Lily won't remember any of this, but we had a blast and a nice relaxing week. Honestly, I almost cried the day we walked a (small) part of the Appalachian Trail. It was my first time on it, even though I've wanted to hike it for some time. It just did my heart good to know that Lily was able to have this experience at such an early age, and that we aren't going to let her T-18 stop us from giving her even more experiences like this. It did all of us good. The Smoky Mountains are beautiful and refreshing, and I wish we could get away more often and spend our weekends surrounded by the greenery and all that Mother Nature offers us. The mountains always have this way of altering my perspective and scaling me down a bit. I actually think I could live there. If you've never been there, I highly recommend it!
