"Let us go on and take the adventures that shall fall to us." ~C.S. Lewis
This last weekend we decided to spend some time at the Tennessee State Museum. This museum is part of the Capital State Park and sits on the very end of the capital mall from the capital building. And this museum is free to enjoy and offers an incredible look at Tennessee through the ages from [...]
We had big plans for our long weekend, but sadly none of them panned out. So instead we decided on a visit to our favorite state park for some fresh air and a snowy hike. Winter is such a different experience here in Tennessee than it is in Utah. Tennessee is less prepared to deal [...]
We decided to enjoy the last few colors of fall at another state park, this time going further afield to South Cumberland State Park. This state park is a little different because there are actually three separate areas, a ways apart from each other, that make up the park. One of our first Tennessee discoveries [...]
Fall seemed to take forever to get here to Tennessee! Family back in Utah kept posting their beautiful pictures of the colored leaves in the mountains and it was making me so jealous. The days have been warm and the leaves have stayed put in the green colors. But now, it is my turn to [...]
