Tennessee Vacation

Well our Tennesse Vacation to Greeneville went pretty well this past weekend. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed it. Aaron did pretty good in the car considering that this was his longest trip away from home so far. It was about a 6-7 hour drive, and he did get a little fussy, but that was to be expected.

We stayed in a great little cabin at Tuck Yall Inn Bed and Breakfast. We got to eat with the family in the morning for breakfast. They cooked a great country breakfast with sausage gravy, biscuits, ham, waffles, juice, fruit. They were very friendly and ensured that we had a great stay.


Saturday morning after breakfast, I toured the Wal Mart Distribution Center which I liked because there is no cold area, which is what I work in now. Then we visited the Andrew Johsnon Historic Sites, which was his homestead, and also where he is buried. There were beautiful mountain views everywhere we went in Tennessee. That is the main reason we wanted to go there.




Then after lunch we decided there wasn't much really to do in Greeneville, it is an old town we weren't too pleased with it, we decided to go to Gatlinburg, TN. It was about an hour away. So we went there for the afternoon, walked the strip, went to the Aquarium, which Aaron really liked. Here is a funny picture of some big fish, they are grouper!










We visited some shops, and then went to eat Valentine's night at TGIFridays.

The food was great, and we really had a great time. Then we made the long drive back home Sunday. We were planning on taking highways from Tennessee to Atlanta, but we followed the GPS, and it brought us home on interstates. So, we ended up going to North Carolina, and South Carolina, then to Atlanta. It was about the same distance, we just visited two extra states. So we had a wonderful Valentines Day. It was nice to get away on a family vacation.
