Greetings from somewhere along our way up the Cherohala Skyway!
*******
It’s only my favorite photo of the week because the WHOLE family is in the picture! Unheard of! I used my tripod and felt like a real, live photographer! Everyone is looking at the camera, I’m pretending that Ella’s eyes are open. You can pretend, too!
*******
Saturday morning, we packed some lunches and the kids into the car and drove the Cherohala Skyway from Tellico Plains, TN to Robbinsville, NC. From there, we headed back home via the Tail of the Dragon. The Tail of the Dragon boasts 318 curves in 11 miles. I don’t know which was more dangerous, the road itself or the copious amounts of gas station snacks we ate that day.

You can see my entire set of photos for my project 365 {2010} on Flickr.
I wouldn’t have noticed that her eyes were closed
YAY for whole fam photos! We have one from a year ago.. sigh.
Whoa…. look at the wind blowing your hair. So model-esque!
Kudos on a great family photo!

Nice photo. I wouldn’t have noticed her eyes were closed if you hadn’t mentioned it. It’s so hard to get a photo with the whole family!

Gas station snacks, yum. Tell me there were Sixlets involved …
.-= Stacia´s last blog ..My-my-my Poker Face =-.
I had to Google Sixlets! I know I’ve seen them, but can’t remember if I’ve ever had them!
I love it! Eyes open or closed!!
Look at you with your tripod Mrs. Professional! You rock! Hope you’re enjoying your time with the family!

I love it…..and I’m jealous you have a family photo..nice work!!
I can’t look at that picture without screaming “BE CAREFUL! DON’T FALL OFF!” at my computer.
And where are your coats and hats?
Other than that, great pic!

It was in the 50′s at the top of the mountain, in the 60′s otherwise. Don’t worry, Mom, we were warm enough!
My husband has taken a couple motorcycle trips to the Tail of the Dragon. Yes, I don’t exhale till he’s home, why do you ask?
.-= Jennie´s last blog ..More good than bad, I hope =-.
I kept saying over and over while we were on the tail of the dragon, “I would NOT be enjoying this on a motorcycle!”
We didn’t see many motorcycles, which really, was a blessing for my fragile nerves.
Great family photo! Sounds like a great road trip!

Just the thought of 318 curves in 11 miles is enough to make me hurl gas station snacks.
Beautiful picture–you guys look so happy. Love that.
