We hiked Clingman's Dome, we drove Cove Point, and we saw some black bears!  We really were blessed with such great weather!  The last time we hiked Clingman's dome we were so cold and we were trying to bundle the girls to stay warm.  The only downfall was that this year the leaves were slow to change colors so we couldn't see the color we saw a couple of year ago, but hey, we were warm.
