End of vacation

 All good things must come to an end.  We had a wonderful time together, saw so much beauty, had lots of laughs!  Some of the family saw some animals - herds of elk and bear.  Andy and Nikki even saw a mama bear with 2 cubs - from a distance!  Bob and I only saw a few turkeys, the raccoon on our deck and 2 dead coyotes.  :)  We drove 1490 miles and were in in 6 states - Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina.  

While we were together, we set the camera up on a tripod to get a few family photos. 


The whole bunch!



Aaron, Laura, Alaina, Ruby



Andrew, Heather, Cassie

Oh my word, such PRECIOUS pictures! And you were ALL together ... that is the best part. It does not happen very often so it's all the more precious. You certainly did spend your time wisely and made sure to see some stunning landscapes. And got to eat some great food and make some wonderful memories. It's so important. xoxo
