Matthew & I travelled to Sevierville, TN to see them at a Trade Show this weekend. It was a show for retailers to buy wholesale merchandise then re-sell the items in their stores. We did get some free samples from some of the folks, but you couldn't just say "ooh I want to buy that T-shirt or candle" because they wouldn't sell to individuals. They only wanted to sell to retailers and the items on display were there specifically for the show, not to sell. It was interesting to see where all the little gift-shop type items originate from. Anyway, the whole point of the trip was to see Julie & Jerry and visit with family, not to buy stuff. We had a good time.

The drive up there was very beautiful and scenic. We took 19 North most of the way, and then cut up 441 through the Smoky Mountain Park & Cherokee areas. Lovely colors with the leaves being all red, gold, orange, etc. Matt said it was like driving through a snow globe, it was snowing leaves most of the trip. Just gorgeous! I will have some photos soon, waiting for Matt to process them first. I got to play with his Nikon D70 for this trip. We will see if I am as good a photographer as my husband (probably not but it is good to learn).
