Sunday Get Away

You can tell where our Sunday morning started.... breakfast at the Cracker Barrel.



We then used my GPS {still pretty new to me} and headed south to the Ocoee River. We were wondering around the visitor center enjoying looking at the plants and their labels [see Our Nature Blog] when we decided to cross over the river. Just as we got on the bridge, we realized it was 10:00 am... which meant the dam was opening and allowing the water to come down the mountain. It was so cool to see it rushing over the plants and rocks covering everything in its path. My video doesn't do it justice... but it's still pretty awesome.
While the guys went for a hike, the little ones and I hiked back to the truck, loaded up and then went to pick Daddy and Isaac up on the end of their trail. We found a campground that seemed hidden on the other side of the river along with a gravel road that seemed to go to nowhere.
Tummies were hungy for our picnic lunch on the way home. What a PERFECT Sunday outing!
