Visiting Tennessee was on our list-to-visit as it’s a potential move-to destination. Bailey visited with some of her friends earlier in 2024 and her inspiration was the foundation for much of Janet’s planning. Bailey made a PowerPoint showing us an itinerary to give us an idea what we could do. Janet got everyone to identifyContinue reading “Tennessee – Summary and Reflection”

TN Day 4 – Another Waterfall and Dollywood
We could also do things separately, as we had two cars. So Bailey and Jett headed off to Dollywood because they wanted to (well, Bailey did…) and the rest of us didn’t! So first, a summary of Dollywood: The rest of us headed back to Grotto Falls in the National Park. This time, we hadContinue reading “TN Day 4 – Another Waterfall and Dollywood”

Bailey and Jett did a quick grocery store run to get milk and cream for coffee, and Jett and IContinue reading “TN Day 1 – Gatlinburg and Dolly”
TN Day 0 – Driving to Gatlinburg
Who had suggested getting up at 2 am? It had made sense the night before with a 1000 mile drive ahead of us, but the logic was absent when the alarm went off. Everyone arose fairly readily so I guess we were all eager to get going, with Janet and Kylie taking the first drivingContinue reading “TN Day 0 – Driving to Gatlinburg”
