Is it Day 4 already? Well, just Day 3 for Rich. It’s Sunday and we slept in. I got up early, but Rich was still sawing logs so I left him. I came down to get caught up on my blog. But wait, I’m still behind! Rich finally woke up and stumbled down the stairs […]

Vacation: Day 3 Give ’em the bird
Day 3 of vacation dawned sunshiny and bright with the sound of a jackhammer outside our window. At least they waited until 8:00 AM to start drilling on the street below. Well, we had things to do and places to be anyway today. We got ready, packed out bags, and headed out of Louisville. As […]

Smoky Mountains: Day 2 Adventure Awaits

Well, that day has come. It’s time to head back on up north again. This means my vacation is almost over. How can that be? Didn’t I just leave? As is my usual habit now, I got up early, grabbed my Nook, and headed down to the pool to read until others began to stir […]

Day 6 Butts Up!
Addendum: I don’t know how, but I forgot to thank Rose for sacrificing her waterproof camera to get the shots in this blogs. Thanks for showing all the fun. It was worth the camera getting waterlogged! Sunday was another slow day. Rich and I went out to get breakfast burritos from Bill Miller’s BBQ. Rose […]

Day 3: Hello, San Antonio!
I’m writing this on Day 4 actually. I never got around it to yesterday. Needless to say, we arrived in San Antonio with only one incident on record. We followed our usual on the road routine. We got up, got ready, had breakfast, and made a quick exit out of town. The weather was really […]
