One of the nicest things about living just 30 minutes from America's most-visited national park is being just 30 minutes from America's most-visited national park.  We get to play in the Great Smoky Mountains pretty much whenever we feel like it.  A few weeks ago, it warmed up fast, was sunny, and everyone felt like playing.  So we packed up the car, called Nog and Pap (who now split their time between their house in Ohio and their house in Tennessee) and headed for the hills.

The most beautiful girly in the world was by my side, Wife2Me, and she was lookin' fine in my "Life Is Good" t-shirt.

The Nog and her Nikon equipment (that she should likely trade with me for the D200) shot each and every one of us (but we shot her, too).

Daughter2Me and Jo-Lo were actin' the fools ...

And then "Party Boy" showed up.

Pap strikes the "Fabio."

Daughter2Me and Jo-Lo take a break (they were tired from resting all day).

And the day finished up with a performance by the original Three Stooges.

Nothing like a quick vacation in your own backyard.

Maybe she'll use it for her FB profile pic instead of that dang pic of a rock.
