No More Wisdom Teeth!

Since all of us have moved to Florida, Brilynn needed someone to care for her while she had 4 wisdom teeth pulled.  We were happy to help her so she postponed the surgery for our visit.  We stayed right with her at her apartment.  She did great with the surgery and recovery went well because she did all the Dr. asked of her.  Her roommate Cameron is a sweetie and we really enjoyed spending time with both of them.  Although...I am sure that they were glad to get their place back to themselves after us "old" folks headed back to the campground.  :-)

Chuy's with Brilynn!

Yay!  We get to have lunch with Brilynn at our favorite Mexican Restaurant - Chuy's!  It was so nice to spend catch up her with all that she is doing with her life.  She keeps very busy with working full time at the Grove, going to college & staying active in church.  She is such a blessing to us & we really cherished this time spent with her.  

Nashville - Long Branch Camping again!

My, my, my!  It's been at least 8 years since we camped here with our old Pop-Up camper.  We have so many fond memories of camping here with Brilynn & Eli.  They were so excited because we could stop on the Center Hill Dam & use the bathroom before settling in at the campground.  It wasn't that the bathroom was anything special.....they could call it the dam bathroom & get away with it.  We had tons of laughs watching them grow up during these yearly trips to this wonderful campground.  Our boat was handy & nearby at Center Hill Marina.  We always thought that we would one day build on our lot we own in Cove Hollow Bay but that dream is beginning to fade as our life's journey is constantly changing.

Still....it was surreal to stay here again with our 40 ft fifth wheel.  We felt kind of silly staying here in a large unit like that but we were so surprised.  Times are a changing & most people had large rigs.  I think we only saw one pop-up in the entire park.  More & more families are enjoying camping as their vacation.  We really enjoyed our 2 week stay again in this park with all of memories around us.  

 Our favorite thing to do in the evening - a little Hand & Foot!

 Best way to celebrate the 4th of July - Smithville National Fiddler's Jamboree!

Waynesville, NC

Dave & I visited the town of Waynesville years ago when camping in Gatlinburg with my sister & Daryl.  This mountain town is so quaint with cute shops & eateries.  I always wanted to return & spend more time.  We were blessed to be able to visit again for a week between our stops in Charlotte & Nashville.

There is something very special about this area.  It may be the mountain air or the quiet living but something is special here.  We enjoyed our stay at Pride RV Resort & touring the area.  I especially loved the downtown area.  It didn't disappoint as it was just like I remembered some 10 or 15 years ago.  My favorite place to stop for sure is The Mast General Store.  This hometown favorite store has been here since 1883 & has everything for everybody!  We scored some new colored Yeti cups with handles, PJs  & some candy.  

If we were ever to buy a summer home, I know that we would seriously look in Waynesville!

 Pride RV Resort!  It's a work in progress as they are adding patios to their lots.

 Our beautiful view from our campsite.  We spent our afternoons just reading & sitting by this beautiful stream.

 Pretty nice view at a grocery store, isn't it?

 Happy Father's Day to Dave!  We absolutely loved visiting the Sierra Nevada Brewery!  Great beers & the food was farm to table & so good!
