TN Bound

This weekend was nice for several reasons.  My parents, older brother and his dog Reddick came to visit.  It was a short trip, but still worth the drive.  We had a great time once again trying to find the ever popular Pancake Pantry.  Stood in line for an hour and then waited some more for the awesome pancakes.  We then headed out to try the Nashville version of the Parthenon.  Somehow we found it in a matter of minutes.  The rest of the day was spent running around to some old favorites (Rooster Tails) and new attractions (Super Target).  They headed out early this morning and have arrived safely.  Thanks for the wonderful visit, we are always willing to try and convert people to the Spring Hill way of living.
