Catching up in the new year

Before Valentine's Day has come and gone (or, based on the speed at which time is flying, the 4th of July), just a few of my favorite pictures from December and January...

Metropolis in southern Illinois has a bit of a theme ;)

Graceland is something else all the way around, but the pool room is particularly...loud. No qualms regarding color and texture for Mr. Elvis Presley :) 

We were in an area of Tennessee towards the end of January that was surrounded by waterfalls. Yay, hooray, and yippee for hiking around in the rain and the green; it was like a little shot of WA on the other side of the country. 

Jan Michael made a friend at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga :) 

And then, the grand finale of the month (of our entire life on the road so far, actually) was the morning we spent at Rock City in Lookout Mountain, GA. These pictures are a very inadequate representation of what we saw and felt while we were there; if fairies and elves and mermaids and gnomes live anywhere, it's here :)
