Lessons learned- hungry kids are no fun. Keep them fed to prevent a huge melt down.
Smokey Mountains are not peaceful and there is lots of traffic
Don’t hike with a paci on top of the stroller... it will fall off and there will be sadness.
Babies have limited of being in the car, Nora reached hers on day 4 around 415 pm.
Always an adventure and more fun times to come. Next time I’d love a beach and maybe no kids - haha!
