Retreat to the Smokies

This past weekend, several seminarian families (with kids in tow) journeyed to the Great Smoky Mountains in Western North Carolina during our Fall Reading Break.  The autumn colors were brilliant and the views simply holy.  Above is the view from our deck at the mountain house.  We were spoiled.  All six children--all under the ages of 3--managed to be good and allow their parents some down time, not too much mind you.

There was every color imaginable on display in the mountains.  Sewanee is only now beginning to change in color.  Fall is certainly my favorite time to be here!
