Smokey Mountain Railroad Trip



















This past Thursday and Friday we took a lovely trip up to Bryson City, NC with the staff from CrossWay. We drove up on Thursday afternoon and stayed at the "Mountain Laurel Motel"- it had some character! Then took a 5 hour train ride on Friday through the beautiful Smokey Mts. The fall colors were breathtaking! The train ride itself was wonderful. We all sat in an open air part of the train which made it fun. We had a great "bonding" time as a staff. Alathea was at Steve & Lizzy's for the night and had a wonderful time with them too! Oh- and Joe insisted I take the last picture :). We stopped at the White Water Rafting Center that M28 goes to in the summer and Joe was reminicing about past WWR trips!

haha, the rafting picture is great! At first I thought you photo-shopped it . . . but no, it's a super large cut out. Great times =)

Your pictures captured the colors better than mine, I think. I'll have to get yours on my computer. :)
