We finally were able to get away from home and go to the cabin for the long weekend. Mom and Nathan went with us while Melanie stayed here to take care of our dogs and her cats. Dick and Daphne, Mike's dad and step-mom, came up late Saturday night are are planning to head back home either Tuesday night or Wednesday. My Great-Aunt Joy and Uncle Bob came over to visit Saturday. Aunt Joy was my late grandfather's baby sister. She and her husband live in Farragut, which is just west of Knoxville. Mom went home with them Saturday afternoon and we picked her up on our way out of town. They had a great visit.
The trip up to Pigeon Forge was a long one. We actually left here early; we got on the road about 6:30 p.m. and hoped to be at the cabin around 2:30 Eastern time. There was a bad accident on the interstate past Carthage so we were stuck in bumper to bumper traffic that barely crawled. We went about two or three miles in two hours. The trip home wasn't much better. There was an accident at mile marker 335. Traffic was backed up past m. m. 338. It took us about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to get through that one. We left the cabin about 11:45 ET and arrived home at about 9:45 CT. The kids were getting restless so we ate dinner at Cracker Barrel on the trip home. We all were excited to see the house!!!
Since it is late, I am going to get off the computer. The kids have school tomorrow and I have a few things to do before going to bed. I'll try to post more about our trip tomorrow.
