Nashville, TN

Here it is April 15th, 2014, and I haven't finished our 2013 travels yet!!!!

Guess I 'd better get this updated so we can move on to 2014 (which is just around the corner!!!).

We did leave MA on  October 18th and after a few overnighters along the way made it to TN to visit with Belinda and Bailey in Franklin.  

Some scenery pictures along the way:

 Stayed at a Yogi Bear park in VA:

More scenery:

Made it to Sieverville, TN (Gatlinberg area) and lots of traffic:

River behind our CG:

We stored our trailer at Belinda’s friends (Denisa and Ben) house south of Nashville and stayed at Belinda’s for the week.  Had a lot of fun with them.

This train track runs under a bridge that is on the way to Bailey's school.
We did see a train passing underneath it one time.

The following weekend we moved the trailer to the Henry Horton State Park which is just outside Chapel Hill.  We have stayed here before and really like it a lot.  In fact, we got the same site that we previously had.  They have electric and water hookups but no dump at the site (have a dump station when you leave the park).

Friday night Belinda and Bailey joined us the CG.  We went out to supper at a nearby Cracker Barrel, picked up some bundles of firewood for the campfire, and spent the rest of the evening enjoying the peace and quiet of the CG.

On Saturday we got up, had breakfast outside on the picnic table, and then got the fire started.  The wood was wet from recent rains so I split the logs into smaller pieces and then it burned pretty well.  Bailey helped get it started by rolling up a lot of newspaper and getting the wood to start.

Our site is in the trees and has some rocks and craters right there so Bailey had a lot of fun sliding up and down.  We bought some pumpkins so she played with those as well.  We even scrounged the area for wood (smaller sticks) to keep the fire going.  We had supper on the grill and then retired for the night.

On Sunday we drove back to Franklin (left the trailer at the CG), had lunch at Barb-B-Cutie, and, in the afternoon, the girls went to a Girl Scout meeting that Bailey belongs to while I stayed at home and watched football.

On Monday Judy and I drove back to the CG, hooked up the trailer, dumped our tanks, and then headed home.  We spent that night in a nice little CG just outside Little Rock.  Barely got setup and the clouds opened up;  I think it rained all night.  Anyway, the next day as we were getting ready to pull out, we saw some people walking over to the bushes/tree line and taking pictures.  Turns out, it was a big tom turkey.  Apparently many people take his picture because he had no fear.  (Pictures are on my phone, and, unfortunately, I can't get my PC to recognize it.  So, no pictures.).

We did make it back to Plano that day, got into the same RV Park but different site.  Good to be back home for awhile.
