Tennessee Travels

Our trip to Knoxville began bright and early Thursday morning. And, before we hit the road, we embarked on an unsuccessful quest to find a mechanical pencil (for crossword puzzles). After looking at three gas stations (one of which was selling one for $7), we decided a pen would work just fine.

No Fields family vacation would be complete without a picture of the fam before we hit the road!

It was a tough decision: Fuel up with unleaded regular or regular unleaded?! Hmmmm....

Olivia found this sign in one of the many gas stations where we stopped along the way. Needless to say, we didn't purchase any innard tickler.

We had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery while we waited in traffic in Chattanooga for an hour:

The view as we entered mountain country:




We had to take off our sunglasses when approaching the dark forest that led to Tal and Jenny's house.

And, after more than nine hours on the road, we were greeted by this beautiful monstrosity of a house - Fields Manor. It's beautiful. We hope to provide a tour of the house on the blog once we return. Until then, we'll be documenting other bloggable scenes along the way.
