Welcome back Dan! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

So you went to the Smokies too. I was there about a month ago myself. Great place to vacation, although it is staring to get a little too crazy and crowded there sometimes.

Did you take any pics? Go on any hikes? Do anything really cool? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Welcome back dan. Glade to see you got to have sometime with your family. There is nothing more precious in life then family.

I hope you got some great pictures for us to see.

If you ever want to find a quiet spot in the smokies check out Bryson City NC. Nice small town, Little Tennesse river runs right through town. Scenic Railway stops there also. Only 10 miles from Natahala Outdoor Center and whitewater rafting an 10 miles from Cherokee. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

My parents took me to the smokies every summer when I was little. Its definitely something that will stay with me forever.

Welcome back Dan! I'm new to the forum and your knives and I am very impressed with both of them. I can't wait to get a SYK of my own!!

Nantahala is awesome! Tons of fun for all ages. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Just thinking about it makes me want to take a few days off <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Welcome back! Vacations are awesome. I rarely get to go anywhere when I take one, though...

Welcome back I'm glad that you had a good trip.

Welcome back Dan - I'm glad you all had a good time! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

So glad to see you posting again Dan! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Victor has been keeping us all properly amused by inventing the new Scrap Yard Bolo! You have to check it out! Great thread! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Happy you and the fine family had a great time bonding. Time goes to fast with your school aged children and ....POOF! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

They grow up,move out and get married and junk like that.
I know they have to but I assure that Empty Nest syndrome is very real. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

With two out of three off and being grownups I cherish every little event with our youngest and only daughter.

So good thing to bond and share close time and laughs together. Those are the lifetime memories you will all look back on and cherish I promise. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Welcome home Dan.

Peace.

Welcome home Dan! Glad everyone had a great time.
