Devastated, stranded lives of thousands of pilgrims and locals at the flood effected Uttrakhand state was saved by the brave defense forces by conducting the largest ever rescuing operation in the history of India.

To refresh our-self with some cold breeze far away from the sunshine state, we (family of three) decided to take a small tour of the Great Smoky Mountains. We shopped for some winter clothes, as this was my sons first time in the snow and being in Florida means you have to prepare mentally for some cold because here we don't have winter months we have only winter weeks. We started our journey from Tampa by Friday afternoon and drove a little over 3 hours to take a break. Tip- If you are traveling with small children I will advise to search and be prepared in advance for your stops and if you have time search for some outlet near highways or shops like IKEA, Walmart because here kids can easily stretch their legs and you can grab some snack and can freshen up too, so its a kind of win-win.
