Holy Last Year!
Posted on August 27, 2008
So last year I posted here about the trip that Jessica and I took to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. In usual Jebb Graff form, I mentioned how I would post photos soon. Well, I just recently realized I never got around to posting any. Here are some from the trip. I did have around 150, but then thought better of it and decided to post a “handful” of faves. Maybe I’ll make a slideshow with the rest. So here they are with captions and all…ooooooo, ahhhh!
Did I mention that George & Lauren drove up too? They didn’t stay the whole tim, but just long enough for George to show off his hovering skills.
Jessica and I take a self pic on the chair lift.
Insert cliched postcard photo here.
The clouds were doing some funky business on the neighboring mountains and I thought it was photo worthy.
The majority of the week we were there was spent looking at the bears at Ober Gatlinburg. We were also fortunate enough to see some bears in the wild. That was pretty much the coolest.
Dang ole flaming fountain man.
The trees in the park were so tall. It was pretty rainy and muggy for October, but the hike was really nice and quite pretty.
Insert cliche waterfall photo here.
Yup…we like bears alright…we’ll gladly watch you sleep if you happen to be one.
Slope Sans Snow -or- Green Grass Gulch
We climbed in that little blender and took a flight around the mountains. Pretty much the coolest.
Again with the cool. I think helicopters have to be the best machines ever built. My friend Ben agrees and says he will name his child “Laser Helicopter”.
Jessica in her flight mode. She turns into a silhouette in every aircraft. It’s a gift…don’t judge.
Here we are taking another self-shot on a chair lift. Little did she know I had a diamond or two in my pocket.
Following the diamond discovery and proposal it was time or another self pic at a bar where we celebrated our engagement with a cup of coffee.
We got up way too early to go up the parkway to watch the sunrise. While it was pitch black I played with the moon, my tripod and a pen light. It was pretty damn cold out.
Sun is finally starting to light up Gatlinburg with a gorgeous cobalt ceiling.
Yay for tripods and remotes.
Yay for sunrise and Jessicas after pancakes. Yeah…we went up so early for the sunrise that we ended up leaving to go get breakfast and then coming back. It turns out that sunrise in Charleston is a different time than sunrise in the mountains several states away. I’m not always the brightest…sue me.
That’ll do for now.
