thanksgiving
Back home again after a quick trip to Tennessee to share Thanksgiving with the youngest and her family.
My first ever visit to Tennessee and it is a beautiful state. We drove there and took the Natchez Trace Parkway for a good part of the trip. All highways should be like this. A little slow perhaps though. We did not do much sight-seeing, except for a tour of the Jack Daniels distillery.
Another first for me was bowling at home with a Wii. I may have to put one of those on my wish list.

I suppose you did some sampling at the Jack Daniels plant?

Joel- Oddly the stuff is made in a “dry” county and cannot be sold or consumed there. They do have a shop on-site that sells limited-edition bottles, which are “collectables.”
But in the warehouse I did find a keg with a leak.

Haven’t been up thataways in a whiles, but Tennessee is a very pretty state - kudzu and all!
My ex’s family was from there, back in the hills near Clarksville in Palmyra.

Garden blogger Phillip at Dirt Therapy also drove the Natchez Trace - it sounds pretty interesting, Bill and I’m glad you got to see Tennessee.
We haven’t seen the Wii Bowling yet but I hear about it all the time from my family back in Illinois - have to try it next trip up there.
