Autumn is here for good with it's chilly breeze and swirling leaves not to mention all those crunchy acorns all over the yard! In early October we decided to take a  family vacation trip but we always manage to have another reason to go on a trip as well and this time it was going to visit Grandpa Bradford. He recently suffered a severe cardiac arrest and was in the hospital and rehab for weeks awaiting 5-way bypass surgery. So, we headed down to South Carolina first, to visit him and my dad's brother and family who live near him.   Here are some pictures of our visit.  We drove through the Smoky Mountains in TN on our way down and stopped at this amazing overlook for a picture. If we all look a bit haggard it's because we'd been in the vehicle for the last 13 hours. =)                                Truly this scenery gives us just a little picture of the glory of God!                                                   Visiting with Grandpa in the Rehab.
