tennessee here we come

we had the wonderful opportunity to go north to tennessee.
to see fall and do some deer hunting.
august loved the airport,
and taking his first ride on an airplane.

we arrived without a glitch.

and ALL our luggage showed up too.

here are the boys doing a little work on the tires while the men wrangle:

10 bags,

4 car seats,

and 2 gun cases (that was just the stuff we checked!).

getting it all loaded.

all loaded (thanks to the nice airport guy) and ready to go in a 12 passenger van.

yes, we loaded all 12 of us in the van and managed to get all of stuff in too.

august made it look all roomy in the back,

but let me tell you, it was just a little tight.

first stop, lunch at jack's bbq in nashville.

and man was it good.

second stop, next door to tootsies to take in some live music.

we were THOSE people who took babies into a bar,

but everyone there enjoyed them.

and those babies enjoyed some good country music.

we made quite a few more stops along the way,

but arrived safe and sound to this view from the back porch.

we sure were lucky to spend 3 full days taking in sights like this.
more to come . . .
