Tennessee Travels – Day Two
April 2, 2008
The first night we arrived in Tennessee, our family took us to an ice cream place called Maggie Moos. (For those of you who have ever been to a Cold Stone Creamery, it’s that…but way cuter.) Spiff, ever the difficult one, did NOT WANT ice cream, but would have rather had italian ice. So Spiff and his Uncle set off to the local grocery to pick some up. While they were there, looking for the ices in the frozen section, the following comment was made:
“Uncle, can I tell you something? I am a sucker for oriental chicks.”
Two women who overheard him in the aisle just about died laughing. So did his Uncle.
(Why, yes, we DO watch a lot of Ninja Warrior. Thank you for asking.)

Sunday was family day, and I took some gorgeous shots of the Tennessee countryside.
We also went to Carter House and the Carnton Civil War Cemetery, where you can see, up close and personal, real bullet holes made by musket fire during the Civil War.
We had a great time. You can see the rest of my photos by clicking here.
I’m not done yet! I still have the Loveless Cafe, The Natchez Trace Parkway and the cliff-diving that wasn’t; and the birth of my new moniker, Ol’ MuddyButt.
All for you. Stay Tuned!
P.S. We head back home today, so posting will be light. If you live in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Virginia, North and South Carolina; that crazy woman in the red shirt waving to you from the top of Lookout Mountain? That’s me. Be sure to wave back!

Sounds like a great trip! It made for great memories, and that’s a successful vacation.

Gorgeous slideshow! I especially love the fence-and-flowers pic, and the closeups of the flowers with raindrops on them. Everything was lush and blooming — now I want to go there!
(And along with the scenery, I’m up for a Maggie Moo’s Chocolate 2 The Extreme!!)
BTW, I saw the pic that gives me a clue to the Ol’ MuddyButt reference.
Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to hear more!

The Loveless Cafe is my favorite place in Nashville to take family visiting from out of town.
