Actually, we’re almost done here, but it’s hard to find the time to write, especially when there’s no free wifi and Internet access in our room costs $9.95 per night. How antiquated. We came here because Clara had an optional travel meet at Disney, so we opted to make a short family vacation of it. [...]

We’re Going to Disney!

Went to watch a “Piano Drop” this evening at MIT Baker House. A semi-regular (based on availability of irreparable pianos) event, though none occurred during my four years there. I brought Clara and Tyler with me, thinking it would be a hoot for them. There were plenty of people there, news crews included, and a [...]

We arrived yesterday at about 2:15 p.m. Feels good to be home, but we had some floors refinished while we were gone, so that meant lots of furniture to move before we could settle in. Which leaves today for unpacking, tomorrow for “rest,” then Monday it’s back to work!

Tubin’ On The Creek
Jul 29
On Tuesday morning, we drove back to the Visitors’ Center to finish off the kids’ Junior Ranger requirements, and got them sworn in. We then headed across the park to a picnic area where there was also a hike to a waterfall. We had a nice lunch, but we never got around to the hike, [...]
We got to have a nice relaxed Monday mornin’, with no need to get on the road and make mileage. After a nice breakfast, Susan and Jenni packed some lunches and we headed into the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. It was a bit of a drive, and getting down the hill that we’re on [...]
Smokies
Jul 27
After our boat ride, we headed back on I-40 East and drove right out of Tennessee into North Carolina. We are staying at the home of the uncle of our friend Jenni. It was billed as a “cabin” so we were thinking it would be somewhat rustic, but it is anything but. And this is [...]
Showboat!
Jul 27
Yesterday, we went on a short river cruise up the Cumberland River on the General Jackson Showboat for lunch and a show by Tim Watson called Fiddlin’ Around, which was an hour or so of music and comedy that we all enjoyed. Tim put on a good show, though apparently not much different than what [...]
