We went to the great smokey mountains on 10.11.2014 for the first time and took a picture from skylift. We went again in 2015, took a picture, came home and realized it was again on 10.11. So we decided to make it a tradition and went this time too. My mom was at home to take care of my 3 month old twins. We left at 5:30 AM, reached there at 9:30, took the picture, bought some souvenirs, had breakfast, left at around 12 and reached home at 4:30. Loved the day trip!
