Whew, what a whirlwind weekend! There was no rest for the weary, but we will take what we can get. 48 hours touched down in Tennessee...it was awesome to see old friends and catch up with family.
+ David got to carve his name in the hallowed wall at Cool Beans (he had always been there in spirit, since it was his $ that funded my pitchers back then anyways).
+ I got to ride shotgun with Jessica (my jr-sr high school friend) as we delivered kids and jewelry around East Knoxville in the mini-van.
+ Ethan, Michael, Diane, and I hiked the highest point in Knox County, woot woot!
+ We got to visit with Chris King and his wife, Alice, and see their sweet house that he built!
+ We got to visit such good old friends, and lots of family!
+ A few Vol virgins got their first taste of Neyland Stadium: Brett, Michael, and Diane!
+ The fall weather was perfect and crisp. I had forgotten how the Smokies are visible from just about any point in town...gray and blue rolling ribbons in the distance. Ahhh, Tennessee. We miss you!
Of course we forgot to take any pictures! Here are a few of the tailgate action that I stole from Mom (typical Martha; only showed up in time for the party)
Stacey, Tommy, Sue, Emily, Brett
Melanie captivates Ethan and Josh
Donna, Stacey, Melanie, Martha, Diane
Dan and the Sheps
And I will leave you with a delightful video that appeared on the Jumbo-tron during the game. If this doesn't make you happy, I don't know what will (something about all that orange...)
