On the road to Gatlinburg, Tennessee

 Rental SUV is packed and we are underway! Plan on staying the night near Tifton, Georgia. We are going to Gatlinburg for a holiday Smith family reunion at Sean and Jennifer's cabin in the mountains.
Wintery scene in a parking lot near Macon, Georgia. Had made a quick pit stop.
 Our favorite barbecue place from the trip. Cute and friendly place in northern Georgia near Alto. Owner is a new found "cousin" - Mike Smith! All the sweet tea and barbeque pork you could eat! Yum!
 First glimpse of the Smoky Mountains! Came around a bend in the road and just had to shoot this scene! So exciting!
 Cool tunnel cut through a mountain! On I-40 close to our exit. Next stop - Cobbly Nob!
 Waiting for Sean and Jennifer since we were the first in the group to arrive in town. Found The Alamo Steak House and each had a much needed drink! Driving unfamiliar mountain roads in the dark is VERY scary. At least to us flat landers!
Cool sign in the bar. And yes, we got carded everytime we purchased alcohol!
Later that evening we met up with Sean, Jennifer, and Austin and arrived at the cabin for a wonderful vacation!
