After a week and a half into our three-week road trip, Alex and I arrived at the Great Smokey Mountains. The first night camping there included building a magnificent campfire until a wicked rainstorm came in and forced us to hide in our tent all night. The next day was sunshine and rainbows as Alex and I ventured on an eight-mile-long hike. Quite determined to get us to a lookout, Alex dragged me the final steps to a gorgeous lookout where he proposed to me. It was about time!
