WonderWorks, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

We did go into Gatlinburg, Tennessee, one day, but just to drive along the main road. There was too much traffic, and too many people.

Another day, we went into Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, which wasn't nearly as busy. While there, we saw several interesting places, and decided to visit one of them. This upside down looking building turned out to be a kids science museum called, 'WonderWorks'.

Great Smokey Mountains, Elkmont Campground, Tennessee

We loaded up the trailer with our camping gear, and also took our bikes, for a week long vacation in the Great Smokey Mountains, in Tennessee.

We split the long drive into two days by staying in a hotel the first night in Jackson, Tennessee, about halfway. We arrived at Elkmont Campground the second day, and setup camp.

HERE is a link to another video, done by a YouTuber, with more information about this area of the Great Smokey Mountains.

Teacher Carl travels to Washington D.C.

It was wonderful weather for our entire vacation. We drove across Tennessee on the first day. We began to enter the mountain range toward the eastern part of Tennessee. We stayed in a hotel in Knoxville, Tennessee the first night, and continued the second day by entering Virginia. The mountain and valley views got more spectacular.

Spring Break 2019 (Nashville, Tennessee) Cooter's Place

We had lunch, and then went to Cooter's Place, across from Opreyland.

When I was a kid, there was a television show called 'The Dukes of Hazzard' that I enjoyed. One of the main supporting characters in the show was 'Cooter'. This is a museum full of memorabilia from the show. Ben Jones was the actor who played the part of 'Cooter', and because of his simple, lovable, character, he ran for public office in Washington D.C.

Spring Break 2019 (Nashville, Tennessee) Parthenon.

We arrived in Nashville, Tennessee, about lunch time, but first we went to see the Parthenon. It was a beautiful day, and we really needed to stretch our legs again. We were lucky enough to find a charge point open that was close, although we later discovered it wasn't working. The Parthenon was closed on Mondays, but we were still impressed with the outside. I am sure the statue of Athena inside would have been equally impressive.

Spring Break 2019 (Memphis, Tennessee)

This year for Spring Break, I planned a very busy vacation, starting with a long drive of seventeen hours to Mason, Ohio. Along the way there, and on the return trip, we made a few stops to see some historical places. The first stop was at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.

Since we left Camden, Arkansas at 4 a.m. on March 18th, it was still early when we arrived in Memphis. First, we had breakfast, and then went to Sun Studio. It was also cold and windy. Sun Studio wasn't open yet, and we had a schedule to keep, so we just took some photos and got back on the road.
