We just returned from a trip to DC and Tennessee. We spent Thanksgiving in Bristol, Tennessee with Rob's brother's family and Rob's sister, Kim. Rob's brother Scott and his wife, Jenny, have four kids - K, A, D, S. They just moved to Tennessee four months ago, bought 12 acres of land and a 1930's farmhouse. They have goats and a barn and lots of room to run around and explore. The kids have grown up so much since the last time we saw them a year ago. It was great to see them. We really enjoyed getting to see Kim too. She brought her Wii which provided us with hours of brain busting exercise.
Thanksgiving dinner was fabulous. Sadly, I took no pictures of the feast! The menu included turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green beans, baked sweet potatoes, homemade rolls, Egbert cranberry jello, and Egbert pumpkin custard. It was delicious!
The day after Thanksgiving we took a trip out to Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We hiked to Hen Wallow Falls, which was really nice. The odd thing about it was that the sign said "2.2 miles" to the falls, but we all felt like it was a little bit further than that. Jasper had a rough time on the hike back. We didn't really dress him appropriately and his legs just about froze off. Rob and I felt really bad about it. Poor little kid...
Bristol, Tennessee is a nice place to live. The Tennessee Egberts seem really happy there. We look forward to visiting them again soon!!
