On the way we stopped at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. to get a little time out of the car. Much to our surprise there was a Corvette Rally celebrating the Anniversary of the Museum. There was over 2,000 Vette's there, what a site!

Next we went to Chattanooga, TN and visited Rock City (in Georgia). It was beautiful. Before arriving at the top you walk along this beautiful path called the Enchanted Trail, enchanted it was...also a tight squeeze in a few spots through very narrow cut outs in the mountains.

From Chattanooga we headed to Black Mountain, NC to visit with my Grandfather's wife, Naomi. She was just thrilled to meet Kenzie and we had a great visit. The retirement community she lives in is really nice, surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains. The view was breathtaking!

Zie and NaomiAfter North Carolina, we made our way back to Gatlinburg, TN. Essentially, the Wisconsin Dells of the South. I went there as a kid and remembered it being a fun time. Of course it just doesn't seem like it was when I was younger. It has become the white trash meca of the south, straight out of a Jeff Foxworthy joke. But, we still had a good time walking the strip, checking out the shops and counting the missing teeth on the people passing by!

We're back home now and it's back to work for me today! It was nice to be home and with my family for a few days! Wish I could do this more often! I really feel like I'm missing out on a lot not being around enough!
