TN the trip home.

So last week was spring break and Emily and I, along with our friend Becky drove down to TN. That is an intense drive. I have never been on a road trip more than 5 hours before in a car, and this killed that old recorded. Killed it. So yeah, I do not know how willing I am going to be to spend a lot of time in a car in the near future, but overall it was a good experience. And I got to drive a stick shift which I only do in a blue moon.

The time in TN was good though, we went to a museum, and to the mountains, almost to the tallest point in the smoky's but it was closed till the 30th (the road) and we did not feel like walking for 7miles to get there. We also went hiking, and my only comment on that is this, if something says a short loop through the park, be weary of it. Very weary. The last thing we did before we came back was spending a night in a cave, now I will admit I had my doubts a little, but the tours were great, we explored the caves and crawled through all kinds of cracks and crevices, and we also went out onto the worlds second largest underground lake; stocked with rainbow trout. The size of this great lake was however somewhat deceptive, with a name like the lost sea and worlds second largest I was left expecting something more than we experiences. I was left very disappointed with the size of the lake.

The trip was a good one overall; I would do it again easy. Maybe next year Jeff and Erin will come see us.

Be weary of it, eh? Not wary?

I said I was not sure if I would, and I was tired so I didn't get the chance.
