EMILY & SAM'S TENNESSEE TACK TOUR- DAY 7- AUGUST 9TH, 2006- OFF TO THE SMOKIES

Let's see, kids, where did I leave off?

Emily and I were sad to leave Nashville, but we got up early and went to the Pancake Pantry. I had to go there because every single person I mentioned Nashville to said,"You have to go to that pancake place!" And so we did. Emily and I both got pigs in a blanket. Yum!



After stuffing ourselves silly, we headed off for the Smoky Mountains. We took the scenic route, which was, well, scenic. We picked up beer and groceries on the way.

Blue Moon: The official beer of the Tennessee Tack Tour.



We unpacked the tent to find that Emily's dad has a warped idea of what a two person tent is...and it also had a mesh top with no rain fly.





We had a lovely campsite by the river, so we just chilled for the evening.





Emily and I discovered a really fun feature on her camera wherein one can take half a picture at a time- SO we could take pictures and both be in them. It also results in some hilarious pictures, especially when drunk.



I was the "fire master" for the trip, putting all those years in the Girl Scouts and church youth group to good use. We grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and stayed up late playing with the fire and drinking. Safety first, kids. Safety first.







Then it was off to bed, as visions of Dollywood danced in our heads!
