Trail of Tears monument
It was fascinating to learn more about the history here in Tennessee and see so many historical monuments. This one definitely had a somber feeling around it.Trying to catch a little frog for Gabe (ok, for me too). I was never quite fast enough though... with every step I took, they would leap from all around me straight into the water!A trip to the South wouldn't be complete without a little porch time in a rocking chair! This pond is fed by an extremely deep underwater spring, the exact depth of which has never been recorded! It has a special algae that grows in it that makes it a gorgeous blue-green. This was believed to be a supernatural place. That is quite the "stick" that Gabe picked up!

Gabe looks all boy in that last picture! The picture on the porch reminds of "The Three Little Bears" a little. :) And that spring with the bright blue algae looks really cool. What a beautiful state!
HTat was hilarious when Gabe was dragging that HUGE stick! That woas fun! I love that picture of Gabe throwing rocks into the water from a little spot inside that hug fallen log! Perfect spot for a little boy!
Wow, this looks beautiful. I want to learn more about why it's called the Trail of Tears and why it's a somber place. You said you liked to learn about the history there and then you didn't tell me! I am definitely going to have to call you about it since you left me hanging. :)
i love the picture of you trying to catch frogs! I love frogs! The forest looks so pretty. Gabe is so funny hefting that enormous stick!
