UTC Reunion in Pigeon Forge

Earlier this year, we spent a weekend in Pigeon Forge with Carole's college classmates and families. The scenery was incredible, and hanging out was a blast. Great to catch up after 12 years!

Driving up, the view East of Gatlinburg back into North Carolina.

View from the cabin in Pigeon Forge, looking back towards the East (before snow)

And then the snow came! What fun sledding down giant hills.

William loves to play with the puppy, and sit on him, and eat his food, and chew his bone, and...
