Last month we had a great week in Tennessee with our very dear friends who came all the way from Germany just to see us. We spent two days exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a day in Knoxville, an afternoon and evening pursuing Dolly and Elvis, a day at the Museum of Appalachia's Heritage Festival, and finally a fall farm day with corn mazes, a pumpkin patch, a hayride, etc. Add relaxing hours around the breakfast table, campfire and in the hot tub and this was a very Americana vacation.
