So my last night in Knoxville (for 3 months) was this past Friday. We went, of course, to the Old City for one last blow out. Brady drove Dennis and I down there and others trickled in throughout the night. We ended up on the 3rd floor of Sullivans and proceeded to drink way too many V-Ray shooties and various other alcoholic concoctions. I leave tomorrow for Argentina and arrive there on Tuesday morning. I'll update this when I arrive! Wow, I just uploaded all of the photos and realized I am a huge ham. I'll try not to be in ALL of the pictures next entry. Until Tuesday!!!... read more

After the weekend a Mackinaw, we went back to Lansing Michigan for one night and then we drove on to Elkhart, Indiana to have some work done on the coach.

Judy's brother, Tracy Jack Davenport and his wife Shirley live in Jellico with their children and grandchildren. Judy's sister, Sierra Langley and Mother Lorene drove in from Springfield Virginia.

The National Scenic Byway and All-American Road can be experienced through driving, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and camping. We took a drive through the portion of the Natchez Trace Parkway close to Nashville, TN. We were a week too late to witness the full foliage of fall colors. The colors were at a peak but many of the trees had ... read more

Dirty. Stinky. Hungry. The first three things that came to mind when I woke up. Remember, I hadn’t even had a chance to shower since I left LA so I was in urgent need of some serious bathing! Once I got rid of the first two thoughts, I had food on my mind. I was telling Lara about the terrible hot dog, when Rebecca ran in from another room “Are you guys talking about food?” “Damn hell yeah we are!” Steph and Torie are rounded up and the four of us receive a hot tip about Rotier’s, a family owned restaurant west of Downtown. I wasn’t sure of what to expect but a big brekkie would do just fine. Readers, I’m getting hungry recounting this to you. The eggs were fried just right. The yolk ... read more
