Trip to Tennessee... Day 3






More photos and more vacation updates... I must first explain the first photo. This is Dave and his family saying goodbye as we pull out away from their home. They were soooo sad at our leaving that they needed hankies to dry the tears from their eyes... you can see that Dave's daughter Zadee (Madeline) was less than thrilled to be doing this... ah, teenagers. Anyway, after leave Cincinnati, we drove 5 hours to Townsend TN to sign in at the KOA campground just outside of Gatlinburg. The kids and Gunnar rode very comfortably as you can see and hardly a fight between the three of them! Once we got to the campsite and got set up, it was explore time. We are literally 50 yards from the river and the first thing the kids did was get in and start playing. Gunnar was very happy about this as he loves water. My wife and I a walk about to get a lay of the land and see what there is to do. The campground is very nice with very different levels of camping accomodations. From simple tent sight to sights with poured concrete pads for those afraid of dirt, to full fledged log cabins with tubs and air conditioning. As you can see, we have a pretty simple sight. Ther was not much time left in this day so we set about getting supper and getting settled in. Hamburgers and fry-pies were the order of the evening. Fry pies are a must when we go camping. They are as much a part of family tradition as our homemade ice cream. We got an idea of what we would try to accomplish tomorrow so check back again later!
