Knoxville, TN - Cade's Cove and Swimming

Our final stop was Knoxville, TN for a week at Nana and Opah's house. We had a lot of fun relaxing here and simply staying out, visiting with family. Two times we got to take the kids swimming at a friends' pool. Of course, they enjoyed it. It was fun to see both kids get more comfortable with the water. We also took the kids to Cades Cove in the Smokey Mountains. We were hoping to spot a Smokey bear but no such luck. We did enjoy getting out of the car and petting horses and playing in log cabins that were representative of what the settlers there lived in long long ago. As you can see, the Smokey Mountains are beautiful. Hopefully next time the kids can take some hikes to enjoy the beauty a bit more.
