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.

Valentines Day

This Valentines Day, we are getting away as a family, and going to the mountains. Misty, Aaron, and I are going to Greeneville, TN for the weekend. We are going to stay in a cabin overlooking a creek and the beautiful mountains in the background. Greeneville is the birthplace of Andrew Johnson, and so they have a national historic site for him, which we are going to visit. It is also home to Davy Crockett. It is about an 45 minutes away from Gatlinburg, TN, and about an hour away from Knoxville, TN. We may go hiking in the Cherokee National Forest. We are going to check out the downtown area, and just enjoy ourselves for the weekend. They have a Distribution Center nearby, and I am going to tour it, since it is different than the one that I work at. And yes, I am going to buy my beautiful bride some pretty red roses for Valentines Day! Aaron has got his mommy a few things for Valentines too. It is nice to be able to get away. It has been awhile since we have been able to get away from our busy schedules. We'll try to post some pictures of the moutains and our trip when we get back. Happy Valentines Day to everyone.

Letting Go

Sometimes you just have to let go of things... Misty and I have decided to sell my car, a 2003 Nissan Xterra. I love having an SUV and it is great to drive, but we have decided to cut back to one car for now to save some money and to keep from having two car payments. We are wanting to save some money for some future plans, that will be revealed later. We will probably in the future buy me an older vehicle, a small truck or something, for me to drive. Misty's car is a 2006. So..with that said, if anyone is interested or knows anyone that is interested in buying a car, let me know. It is a 2003 Nissan Xterra with 64,600 Miles on it. I am asking $10,000. It is a great vehicle, runs great, is clean, and it great for the outdoors person. It has the roof rack, and step rails. It is has power windows, power locks, dual airbags, and is a V6. I can be reached at 334-332-3927. Thanks everyone.
