Congratulations to Aunt Frances to being the very first guest at our new house! May there be many more. (hint hint 
) Our days together were full fun as we explored the area, visited the sights, and took loads of pictures!
One weekend, we drove up to Roan Mt. to see the acclaimed rhododendrons growing on the mountainside. “Gardens” of rhododendrons grow wild on the slopes of Roan Mt. and draw visitors from all over the country. I could understand why after seeing all the gorgeous blooms for myself!
We stopped at a lake in Cherokee national forest, and a visitor center and nature trails along the way, and then finally drove up our destination. It was well worth the windy drive, even though we got wet through in the pelting rain 
(TN weather for you).
Enjoy the pictures! (And thank you Aunt Frances for many of them!)
. The photos are great….and you are the only family I know that is so adventurous – what fun!
