Nashville
We met up with Peter’s Brother & Sister In Law in Nashville For A Friend’s Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BARON! We Spent A Week Exploring The City & Celebrating Baron’s Birthday. It was fantastic to see familiar faces after 4 months on the road without seeing any of our loved ones. The trip was filled with lots of live music, yummy food, alcoholic beverages, and laughs. Nashville was our first introduction to Tennessee and it was a fantastic way to spend our first week.
Above are espresso martinis. If you’ve never had an espresso martini we HIGHLY recommend them. Most expensive drink Katelyn has ever bought but very tasty!
La Follette
We hit La Follette right as the dogwood trees were blooming at it was beautiful! We stayed right near Norris Lake and got to experience the lake and lots of campfires. We made friends with our hosts Manuel and Dana, as well as with others in the area. SHOUTOUT to Mark we know you’ve been waiting to see the Tennessee photos! We were able to spend some time on the lake, ride our bikes all over the hills, and even find a slice of our own little paradise. After spending a week in La Follette we knew we wanted to be there full time and went on the adventure of finding some land in the area.
We loved the winery nearby and had a few dinners there while in the area. They have cranberry wine that tastes like juice.
Mark took us out on a boat ride one morning and we couldn’t take a good picture to save our lives. The dogwoods were in full bloom and the flowers were huge.
Knoxville
Katelyn spent a day in Knoxville with Dana (our host) while they waited for Peter to fly back into town. Katelyn and Dana went around to a bunch of cute little shops and had the best sushi!
