Family Vacation Day 6, Smokey Mountains and Chattanooga

I really wanted to spend at least a week in the mountains, but we didn't have enough time. What four year old wouldn't love a week playing in a creek and climbing on rocks. While Jeremy was playing, I got to try out a new setting in my camera.

Jeremy spent a long time rolling pebles and rocks down this big rock. He thought it was really fun. There were tons of butterflies everywhere. They were amazing because they had blue on the top and orange spots on the bottom.
When Jeremy was tired and cold we left and drove to Chattanooga. This was a last minute idea to let him ride on the Incline Railway that goes up Lookout Mountain. Of course, this was the favorite of everything else we have done so far. A one mile ride up the mountain at a 72 degree angle. Jeremy was tired of smiling for pictures, so this was the result... his pirate face.
If you look really closely you can see the track to the top.
