Couple of views of Gatlinburg, TN

(cute little town at the bottom of the Smoky Mountains)

BANDIT!! :)

The 1st raccoon we've ever seen that was sociable & friendly (for food, obviously).

It took a while, but we came to trust him a good bit. :)

It's been a long year, but we made it back to the mountains!

And we got Christmas Day snow!!

Then, onto Cincinnati for a Bengals/Chargers game!

We must be good luck! The Bengals finally won, and knocked SD out of the playoffs. :)
