I'm Back From Tennessee -- Had A Great Vacation -- Pics Inside
 

I just got back from an awesome trip to Tennessee. I was visiting my parents before they took off across the country for the year. They are retired and travel the states in their RV. I had a blast, but I?m so glad to be home.

We went to the Jack Daniels distillery last week and also ventured in some caverns in Tennessee. I even took a boat ride on the Americas largest underground lake at the Lost Sea. My dad bought a new fishing boat and we went out on Dale Hollow Lake a couple times fishing. It was great to be out in the country having campfires and relaxing with my family. My son even got to mow his first lawn with his grandfather for $5 pay haha. We celebrated his 9th birthday yesterday.

I have several other pics of my vacation, but have to get them off my other camera, so I will post them later as I'm off to bed now. It took me 9 hours to drive home and I'm sooo tired.

To all my clients that I promised design/programming previews, you will get them as promised. :thumbsup

Jeez, I'd give anything to live in a place like that. If there's a lake through those trees, it would be heaven. Your parents are lucky.

They have a very nice place and are very lucky. The Lake is a couple miles away. Tennessee is a beautiful place.

great pics thanks !

The only thing that keeps me out of the woods is internet. How's the internet connection out there?

this is life... great...

Looks like a nice getaway

very nice house / your son's got an early start to earning some dough

It was not too bad. I picked up a verizon wireless card and had a pretty decent connection.

If I were living in the states I would pick up a wireless card and a RV and travel the country never staying the same place more than a couple of weeks.
Some of us are very lucky being able to work from anywhere (now working 5000 miles from my home country)

Did you sing "Rocky Top" around the campfire? Sorry couldn't resist as college football season is starting up :)

If you look at the gas pedal we had to rig up something so he could reach it. He missed a few spots also when he rounded the corners. My dad had to clean up after him. He did a great job for his first time and I was so proud of him.

haha it was pretty country but people were getting ready for the college football season for sure. It was on every local station and the people of Tennessee are excited about it.

We are pretty lucky to be able to travel and still work. I carried my desktop/monitors and laptop with me. I set up a nice little office at my parents so I could get a couple hours of work done each day. Where are you now Michael if you don't mind me asking?

Damn should of let me know would of swung up that way to see you. In cville right?

I've been in the Dickson area the last week or so helping out some family, but its not all that far. You made good time as well if you made it home in 9 hours. :winkwink: Looks like a great place your parents have there.

That sounds like an amazing vacation! I would love to RV across canada and the states one day, I pitched it to my wife for our honeymoon but was overruled. Guess who wears the pants in this house lol!

Sure $50 for 5 GB a month and $51.20 per GB voergage fees. Sounds fantastic.

Yea they are in cville, I'm pretty sure we went through the Dickson area to get to a winery we toured. Nice of you to help family. We were so busy doing things I don't think I would have had time to hang out. My mom makes a list like me and we have stuff to do every day on a schedule. I?m glad to be home and back working long days. If I get back to Tennessee and have some free time we will have to get together. My parents will be gone until next summer traveling so it will be awhile until I get back out to Tennessee. We made really good time coming back home. Only had to fill up once on the road so we raced to get home all the way down 40 until it ended in Wilmington. I missed my place and my animals so kept up with traffic all the way home.

Looks like a nice place

We had a great time. Nice to clear your mind. You have to start throwing her hints now and see if her mind has changed :) Some people love it and some don't. Takes a pretty strong relationship to travel with someone. The bathrooms are not very big in an RV haha.

It was worth it to know I had a good internet connection. They made me sign a 2 year lease too. I will get good use out of it though.

Beautiful green grass, trees and light blue sky.

i luv me sum fishing!

Love those pic.. that is the way to travel! Do you have more pics?

Thanks PG. My son was able to do a little four wheeling too so he had a blast. He loves his grandparents.

It looks amazing there! What was the weather like?

looks like fun. I'm off to Italy for a vacation next month. Should be good :)

Only in America.

just looks like pics of your toys then any "vaca" pics

Got the same thing on my storm2, and just use pdanet and skip their 15.00 tethering fee lol. Its not good for everyday use, but works great as a backup. And yes have to hang out for sure next trip. :thumbsup

I have some pretty cool pics of the Jack Daniels tour and the underground caverns. But I have to get another cord for my little camera when I get a chance to get off to Best Buy. I left mine at my parents :( I will post them up a bit later, these are the only ones I had on my bigger cam.

Looks good, nice pics :thumbsup

Very idyllic...Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup

I had a great time in Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains many years ago.

Even though I'm not a huge Country music fan, I do like Bluegrass music, so I made a trip to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville too. Fun times...

We had a couple days in the lower 100's. That was super hot. We went out on the lake those days and jumped in and paddled around in our kayaks. We picked a shady little cove and just relaxed in the shade.

Its hit well over 105 this past week or so. Heard 108 mentioned a few times, but didn't feel that hot to me really, but it was hot no doubt. Humidity is the worst part.

great pics. Looks great !

That sounds awesome. Take some pics and share them. I want to plan a trip to Italy. I hear it's a beautiful place.

Awesome pics, looks like you had a great time! :thumbsup

Sounds like a plan. I will use the Verizon card when I walk over to the beach for the day with my son. I will just bvring the laptop and I'm good for the day. Are you guys still blazing hot?

Thanks my parents have a great place. I still need to get my pics up of the caverns and Jack Daniels tour.

The Smokey Mountains are awesome. I love real country bluegrass too. I used to play the banjo and I'm still pretty awesome haha I can rock it! I don?t tell too many people that story. I don?t want to sound like a redneck jamming a banjo.

I talked to my parents and it looks like you are still hot in Tennessee! It was 105 here at topsail island with the heat index. I went outside to play basketball with my son and we were dying of heat. I was sweating through my clothes outside. We ended up going over to the beach and got in the water to cool off. We had a crazy lighting storm tonight as well.

Looks like a great place for kids. I love all the trees and greenery, only problem for me is I hate the cold & rain so have to live in a dryer part of the country.

OMFG - its a ginger kid!!! :winkwink:

Nice pics :thumbsup looks relaxing!

Thanks Konkan :thumbsup

Love the truck. And pretty much everything else.

We sure did, I wish I was there right now on vacation still. I have a ton of pics of the caverns and Jack Daniales tour. I just need to get them off my other camera and I have been far to busy to get out of the office to get it.

My Mom just send me a few from her camera. These are of the Jack Daniel's distillery.
