From Georgia to Tennessee!




    April 17-25, 2011

   Our journey from Georgia to Tennessee was very relaxing!  We drove over rolling hills with fields of yellow Golden rod!  We arrived at the Natchez Trace Thousand Trails and staked our spots at the top of the hill!

   Mira, Rene, Dean and I played pickle ball with Travis, Jane& Gill every morning...!  Not to many pickle ball players...but we still had a great time!  In the evenings we played Mexican Train and Mira and Margie were the winners!

   We spent an afternoon visiting Lawrenceburg.  We explored antique shops, the old jail and  pharmacy.... where we enjoyed speaking to the local folks and a ice cold milk shake! We drove through the David Crockett State Park and the Amish country. We stopped in a couple of the homes of the Amish and purchased some jars of jelly and pickles for our journey to Alaska!

   One afternoon we experienced a hail storm! The hail was the size of nickles...what noise they make on the roof!  As we continued home we came upon a one lane bridge that was impassable due to flooding!

   We visited the Meriwether Lewis monument and grave on the Natchez Trace along with a hike to the Hallow Falls! The falls were very impressive...lots of water and lovely wildflowers along the way.

   Travis had us all over for burgers at his place on Friday night! We had a ham dinner in the lodge after cocktails at our house. We are going to Nashville on Easter after church and breakfast !   Margie

Our Travels Begin!

Georgia April 10- April 17, 2011

Our first stop was in Macon, GA. at the Southern Trails Resort for an overnight stay. The following morning we arrived at the North Shore Resort where we met up with our President Rene and his lovely wife Mira. We spent four days playing pickleball and dominos!

Onward to historic Buford, GA. where we stayed at the Shoal Creek Campground on the lake...beautiful! We spent the day exploring the shops in town. The following day we went to Stone Mountain, GA.! We enjoyed a delicious dinner in a little German restaurant in town and then we went to see the laser show! The show was wonderful!

We leave Georgia and are heading to the state of Tennessee!
