We also visited Gatlinburg in August of 2008, right before Carter's first birthday. Here are some comparison shots from our first and second trip, my sentimental side showing!
2008
2014
Clingman's Dome in 2008. It was really early and we had to bundle Carter up with a jacket, blanket and Grandma's jacket with a hood. When we got to the top, nothing. The view was completely obscured!
Clingman's Dome in 2014. We went later in the morning and there was no need for jackets. All three kids walked up the steep incline, but we had to stop about every ten steps. I was so happy that we had a pretty view this time!
Play Time in 2008
Carter had taken a couple of steps here and there, but crawling was his preferred method of transportation.
Play Time in 2014
Ava loved spending time with her little cousin Andrew.
Aquarium in 2008
I remember that Carter was fascinated with the fish swimming in the tank.
Here is Carter with his brother and sister in front of the very same tank. This time Carter was spouting off facts about jellyfish and sea horses and loved watching the Megaladon jaws.

Wow! That escalated quickly!
