WE ARE MARSHALL
How many of you saw the movie We Are Marshall? Great movie but very sad story. In the movie, there is a scene where Matthew McConaughey is on a recruiting trip and is eating at a diner. It was filmed at none other than ... The Varsity in Atlanta, Georgia. Guess where we ate with Jim Haskell last week? You got it ... The Varsity!!! How cool is that?
We headed to Kentucky after seeing Marshall University.
We LOVED the Kentucky Horse Park. We could have used about 2 more hours but had a great time and learned a lot while we were there. I hope the videos I took post along with the pictures because The World of Horses show was incredible!! We would like to start raising ALL of these horses in Jonah, Texas!!! You will see a picture about Three Bars...read about him on the picture if you have a minute. One of our horses, Lucky, blood line goes back to Three Bars. Carson Marie reported to me multiple times that this was her favorite place that we have been to. I had no doubt it would be :)
Rolled into Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, in time to ride the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster! Kenedy Sue has her spirit back!!! You know at Seaworld a month or so ago, I rode the Steel Eel with her and that just about did her in for roller coasters. Well, I am happy to report that today she did GREAT and wanted to ride the Alpine Coaster AGAIN!!! Way to go Kenedy!! :)
It was really cool riding through the mountain. We all really liked it a lot!
Headed to The Old Mill for dinner. We all wished we had multiple stomachs so we could eat more food! It is SOOO great. The kids made sure we wrote in the comment book before we left. we also did a little shopping at The General Store. We are staying right on the river and right across the street from a mini amusement park. You look out one door to lights, bells & whistles and then look out the other door to a beautiful mountain, river and garden. Love it! The good thing is you can not hear any of the rides or any of the crazies still up doing the rides.
It looks like we have the slowest internet in Tennessee so the videos may not make it tonight...may not have any pictures either. I will add them tomorrow if all else fails.
We had another great day driving across America!
If you have ever thought about doing a road trip...plan it and do it! :)
Road trip song of the day...Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road by Loudon Wainwright III
