We started off on the first day driving from Philadelphia to Noth Carolina. On the way, we went through Shenandoah National Park. It was kind of foggy that day, but still beautiful. |
 |
Kate and me in Natural Bridge, VA. |
 |
This is Natural Bridge. It is a big rock that was hollowed out by the river running under it, making a natural bridge. The bridge is very strong--a highway even runs over it! |
 |
The next day we went to the largest mansion in America, the Biltmore Estate. It was very over the top! They even had a winery on the property. |
 |
 |
| "The most photographed view in the Smokies," so the sign says. |
 |
Part of our trail through Great Smokey National Park. It was simply gorgeous. |
 |
A rest stop in Arkansas had a store called "Boomland" that sold fireworks. I found this funny (as it was right next to the gas station) so I took this picture. |
 |
We took a detour in to Kentucky to see the Mammoth Caves. This picture just doesn't do it justice. |
 |
On the way back to Tennesse, we stopped at the Corvette museum. That was fun. |
 |
After Kentucky, we went to Nashville and Memphis. This is a picture of a band we saw two nights on Beale St in Memphis. They were so good. |
 |
Kate and me outside Elvis' mansion at Graceland. |
 |
I'm testing out the drum set at the famous Sun Studios. |
|
|
After Tennesse, we went to Chicago, via St Louis. This was a random rest stop in Arkansas that sold fireworks. I found that amusing so I took a picture. We took pictures in St Louis from the arch, but it was evening so they did not come out. |
 |
In Chicago, we visited Christy. She took us to the "Pride Parade" which was a whole lot of fun. This is one of the floats. |
 |
 |
| Another thing we did was go to Navy Pier. There was a ferris wheel out there, so we got to see a beautiful view of Chicago. Too bad Christy is afraid of heights! | |
 |
Kate and I went up to the top of the Sears tower on the morning that we left Chicago. |
