So last fall, mom, Kate, and I decided to take a road trip. The ending destination was Franklin, TN to go to a christian film conference. But how
we were going to get there and when (as long as it was in time for the conference) was completely up in the air.
We started from Baylor because we were there visiting Davis and the first stop worth noting was in Arkansas to see Casie and Jordan Neal. Very fun people and if you ever have the chance to meet them you should. Our stay therewasn't as longas I would have liked, but I'm not really sure any stay with them is long enough not matter how long it is.
Next we were in some town (we passed through a lot of towns so I will probably not be able to tell you the names of them.) we picked up some chicken went to some tourist place it was kind of like a state park but I don't think it was. Anyway...we ate our chicken outside and then we hiked up a mountain.
And mom and I had a hard time keeping up with Kate.
And at the top it was so beautiful!
And Next stop was Silver Dollar City. Lots of fun and I have tons of pics but I think this one is my favorite:
Mom told Kate to get in front of the pumpkins so she could take her picture. So went over there and did this pose. Completely unashamed or embarrassed even with all the people walking by. :-)
And then we saw an amazing sunset on our way to whatever town was next.
This picture doesn't even do it justice. The sunset in real life was much more spectacular. I shall remember it for the rest of my life.
Then we went to some reenactment farm in the Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky. Yes! I remembered where it was, but how can you forget a name like TheLand Between the Lakes? Isn't it perfect! I think Anne Shirley herself would approve! :-)
And while there we went over to see a mule. A very mean mule. And I didn't like it at all.
It was trying to kick down those little poles, those scrawny little things that were the only thing between it and me, and for a moment it really looked like he was going to. And if he did I was pretty sure he was going to trample me or bite my ear. But thankfully he did not get out and my ear is safe and sound.
And finally. We ended up in Tennessee. Franklin Tennessee which is the most charming town I have ever been in. And we went to the film festival. And... and and AND.............. (drumroll).........
Yes I got to meet him. George Grant. I got to take a picture with "the big guy with the bow-tie"................ only.... he wasn't wearing a bow tie. And it almost ruined the whole experience. Almost though, I still had fun:-)
And on the way back,
we didn't really do anything fun but watch movies for two hours while we were stuck in traffic in Arlington. If you ever plan on taking a road trip, just remember not to go through Arlington when the World Series is there... not a good idea.
