Trip to Gatlinburg - Day 1


Hi everyone who's checking the site regularly. Thanks for checking in with us. Right now we're on a 4-day weekend vacation in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We have wireless internet in the hotel room at the Holiday Inn Sunspree. On the drive down we went through Louisville, Lexington, and of course, Corbin. That's the former hometown of Harlan D. Sanders - the Kentucky Colonel himself. His original Kentucky Fried Chicken (the Sanders Cafe) still stands and is a combination of a current KFC restaurant and a museum dedicated to the original operation.

After that we drove down US 25E South to Cumberland Gap National Park - but unfortunately the Pinnacle Peak drive was closed for some reason. We were able to at least pass through the Cumberland Gap Tunnel, which was pretty cool, and drive through Virginia (accidentally), before finishing the trip to Gatlinburg.

Chase came along for the trip, and he's done very well so far. He had never left Indiana before, so this is very exciting for him (I think, who knows what's really going on in his little doggy brain).

We'll post pictures soon - the camera is still in the car :)

Will do Joe. Hey, what can I do when the pictures won't show up after I go through selecting them (select the file with "Browse", the it says "Complete" in the blue box, but the picture isn't added to the post. Do I have to reduce the file size first?

Thanks,

Chuck

That's good that Chase got to go with you!! I'm sure he was needing a vacation before Maddie makes her appearance and doesn't get to go anywhere for a little while. If you take half as good of care of Maddie as you do of Chase, I think you'll have one heck of a kid!! Can't wait!!
