Trip to Tennessee

This weekend we made a trip to Knoxville, TN.  We left Friday morning at 6am and drove for eight hours.  Greg's Aunt's townhouse is up for sale.  We went up to check on the house and to meet with a new Realtor.  It's a really nice townhouse only being 30 minutes from Pigeon Forge where all the tourist things are.

The Realtor wants us to paint the inside just to freshen it up.  We have also decided to add a dishwasher and garbage disposal.  So we took it off the market so we could do the updates.  Then we will put it back on the market.  In the evening we decided to rent a movie from redbox, thank goodness for the laptop because we didn't have a TV. 

Saturday we decided to drive to Gatlinburg. We drove through the town to the bottom of the smokey mountains.  I have been there before and didn't feel like going shopping in all the tourist shops.  So we turned around and went back to pigeon forge.  We went to the Titanic museum (which I tell you about in the next post.)  After the museum we went to a wine store that was close by.  

While driving down the road I spotted a Christmas store http://www.christmasplace.com/.  This was a very large store with some really neat Christmas things.  We found a place where the men could wait and watch some sports while the wives were shopping. What a great idea.

There were so many Christmas things you didn't know which way to turn.  I did get two Christmas ornaments for our tree.  We also drove by the Worlds largest As seen on TV store .  We did not go in, just stopped to take a picture.

I spotted a large sign advertising a clearance scrap-booking store so we went to check it out.  There were two stores, one with everything 1/2 price and the other with the regular merchandise.  It actually was a little overwhelming because there was so much to look at. 

We left on Sunday morning to head back to Jacksonville.  The mountains were very nice even though we missed the changing of the leaves.  We still thought it was a pretty drive.

We had a nice weekend with great weather. 
Till next time......

Love,
