Leaving the Mountains

 

Last breakfast in Gatlinburg was decadent chocolate chip pancakes with bananas and whipped cream. 

We stopped for dinner in Bella Napoli in Savannah, Ga.

And we couldn’t resist getting the lemon custard at Leopold’s Ice Cream. The recipe has been unchanged since 1919. 

The Flowers Of Gatlinburg

 

We spent our last few hours in Gatlinburg on the strip. I was enamored with all the lovely flowers.

The lovely downtown flowers on our way to get breakfast.

Once in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park we pulled into one of the stops that had a short path down to the river. Someone had left some beautiful rock art.
