  • So the second night of the cruise was the night we were supposed to get all dressed up and look decent. Before dinner, we tried to go out on the deck and take photos. The sun was somewhat blinding: We then decided to take care of this later and moved inside to the Captains Welcome…

  • It’s been a long time, but I’m hoping you understand. Football season takes up so much of my time that I find time scarce. I know that you guys deserve better, but when time is short, this takes a back seat. This past weekend, we had a wedding in San Antonio, one of my cousins…

  • I’m sitting here, essentially waiting for Hurricane Ike to pass so I don’t have to worry about the dead tree in my yard falling on my house, so I thought I’d post some long overdue pictures from July 4th (I know, extremely late). We had a water balloon fight and good times ensued. Jenson and…

  • I forgot to mention that Sweet Sweet and I also went hiked to a place called Grotto Falls in the last post, which ended up being a complete beating with way too many people. It was a two mile hike and the worst part about it was that two miles is short enough that just…

  • So Sweet Sweet and I are up early the next morning to tackle The Great Smokey Mountains and our first stop is Clingman’s Dome, which is the highest point in the Great Smokey Mountains. It’s quite a drive up to the top, but well worth it. At some point, there’s this nice parking lot and…

Although there were plenty of interesting things to comment about along the way, perhaps the most interesting thing was a town called Pigeon Forge, which is just 5 miles or so out of Gatlinburg,…

  • Here’s the video portion of the presentation.  Slave Falls (Part I and Part II), Twin Arches, and Colditz Cove.

  • After Memphis, we hit the road and travel to Jamestown, Tennessee, where we stayed at the Wildwood Lodge, which was a bed and breakfast just right outside of the actual state park, Big South Fork. First things first, Clare and Julia were wonderful hosts. They were the kind of hosts that you dream about having.…

  • So Sweet Sweet and I took a few videos of the trip and we start off with a re-cap of Nashville, as well as a quasi-First Monday in Nashville, and ending with clips from Little Jimmy Dickens and the Carolina Chocolate Drops.

  • We started the vacation on the extremely ominous Friday, June 13th, but everything went well. I got up early, went to the store for some last minute items, mowed and cleaned up the yard before leaving. We got on the road around 11:00 a.m. and were headed for Memphis. Here’s Sweet Sweet. Here’s me, realizing…
