It was a long trip from Florida every year, but it was worth the trip and plenty of time for excitement to build. Seven hours to be exact, but finally after that seventh hour of driving I made it to the winding roads of the Smoky Mountains.

The excitement and overwhelming happiness before getting on the bus for the long ride is what keeps us all sane.
