This past weekend we went to the mountains of North Carolina with your Grammy, Grampy, aunties, & uncle. When we left on Sunday morning, Daddy wanted to go to Clingman's Dome, the highest point in Tennessee. We drove through a section of the Blue Ridge Parkway & then into Great Smokey Mountain National Park. We admired the beautiful fall leaves as we drove. Fall is absolutely Mommy's favorite time of the year!
We arrived at Clingman's Dome & despite the fog & wind, Daddy wanted to walk you to the top. So, riding in your umbrella stroller up the incredibly steep incline, you went to the highest point in the great state of Tennessee. We snapped a couple of pictures at the top & headed down.
The Appalachian Trail runs right out onto the path up Clingman's Dome. On the way down, we stopped & took a few pictures of you at the trail head for the A.T. Your Daddy was beaming! He was so proud that you got to set foot (well, more like a stroller wheel) on the Appalachian Trail. All the way down, he talked about how fun it will be when he can take you hiking. Those will be such special times for you & your Daddy.
We know you won't remember your first trek up Clingman's Dome or the first time you saw the A.T., but your Daddy will always remember it & Mommy will always remember the pride on your Daddy's face when we snapped the first picture of you on the A.T!
Love,
Mommy

Love this note! I remember walking up Klingmans Dome with an umbrella stroller a long time ago. Thanks for helping me remember that. So glad I get to watch Owen grow.
