Thanksgiving travels.....

Folks have been waiting to hear how Thanksgiving was and what we were into. We spent Thanksgiving in Knoxville, with family and friends. It was a wonderful day, good food and great company! Thursday night, after stuffing ourselves, we took off for Nashville. We had a hotel reserved so we could do some Black Friday shopping at the Opry Outlet Mall. No, we were not up at 3:30 like a lot of people were, we got up around 6 or so and were at Bass Pro Shops by 7 am. We shopped for a good 6 to 8 hours straight before Shawn let us stop and eat. It was a successful shopping day and we were able to catch a movie, visit the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and have our feet up by 7 that evening. What a day! The next morning we were not so early to rise and shine. After a restful night we headed to The Hermitage on Saturday. It was a little chilly to be wondering around the estate of General Andrew Jackson but we did it anyways and enjoyed it all. In all the traveling we did growing up we never made it to The Hermitage. It is worth a trip and there is so much to learn about our history.

Now we begin planning our Christmas trip. We have decided to fly down to Florida and drive back. UT has landed in the Outback Bowl.....again....and we are not sure we will go this year. Which only means they will win.

A little follow up story to "Home Tweet Home". It did get purchased and the owner sent the office a nice 'thank you'. Our tree now resides in Alabama, kind of funny to think of it traveling that far. They owners love it and are happy to have it in their home. Another happy ending you could say.
