Bluegrass to Blue Ridge 5/3/21 (Sevierville, TN)



Wow, the view from our cabin is spectacular….however, the drive up the mountain is not for the faint of heart and one I would not attempt after dark.  It seems that guardrails are optional and they opted out, but then again, a guardrail would take precious space needed to squeeze past any oncoming cars.


After a quiet morning at our hotel, we picked up Maura & Amelia at the Knoxville Airport and yes, all the luggage fit, although, most had items under their feet.  Lunch was BBQ at a local chain, Calhoun’s.  You could smell the smoke as you entered and the Ribs and Burgers did not disappoint.  We made a quick stop at the Publix to pick up a few fresh and cold items and then made it to the cabin by late afternoon.


Our cabin, A Walk in the Clouds, is fairly new.  The previous cabin on this spot was destroyed during the Great Smoky Mountain wildfires of 2016.  All around, you can see cabins being rebuilt.  The new cabin is three stories with balconies on each floor, 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and an awesome game room.  Amelia is already playing with the puppet show.


Since this is a birthday trip, the first order of business was to get a cake in the oven.  Dinner was perfect for a five year old, hot dogs and baked beans followed by cake and ice cream, we even remembered the party plates, candles and the perfect headdress.

Bluegrass to Blue Ridge 5-6-21 (Knoxville Zoo-Not)

Image
We packed up the car and departed the cabin this morning, heading to Knoxville, about an hour drive away.  Although we enjoyed the cabin and the view, I was very happy when we made the drive down the mountain road one last time.   We made a reservation at a hotel across from the airport as Maura & Amelia will be Boston bound on a 7am flight tomorrow morning.  That left most of the day available for seeing Knoxville and, since children of all ages enjoy the zoo, we set our sights on Lions, Tigers & Bears. As we pulled into the parking lot, Mary stated she wanted to grab her camera; that’s when we had an oh-oh moment…the camera bag was still hanging on the back of the chair in the dining room IN THE CABIN.  We dropped Maura & Amelia at the entrance to the zoo and made our way back to Pigeon Forge.  By the time we returned to Knoxville, there was not much left for the others to see at the zoo, so we just waited in the car. Once at the hotel, we enjoyed the pool, a quick

Yellowstone 8/12/18 (Jackson Hole to Yellowstone)

This morning we split into two groups referred to as floaters and shoppers.  The floaters, the majority of the group, signed up for the optional float trip down the Snake River; the shoppers had a free morning to relax or wander around Jackson Hole.  We opted for the float trip. We headed out in the bus, but then transferred to three vans towing our rafts.  Our guide, Zach, drove us up river, where we doned our life vests.  The  rafts were launched and we climbed aboard, literally.    Getting in and out of the raft was the hardest part of the trip.  Zach, expertly guided the raft pointing out wildlife and scenery of interest.  We just sat back and enjoyed the view and as we peacefully floated along.  Although a little hazy, the trip provided the best view of the Grand Tetons.  We also saw people fly fishing or at least trying the sport.  Zach pointed several eagles And their nest, a mother and baby raccoon and some moose antlers.  The raft ahead of us was delighted by having a moose

Canadian Capital 6/18/19 (Old Montreal)

We started this morning with our group picture.  Walking across the street from the hotel to the Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral, we lined up on the steps, smiled a few times and we were done. This morning we are off to the Old Montreal walking tour with a few food tastings thrown in.  Since the streets in the old area are pretty narrow, Guy dropped us off on the outskirts where we broke into four groups, each with a local guide.  Old Montreal was first settled in 1624 by the French as Fort Ville-Marie.  Many structures date back to that era of New France.  This is where the cruise ship docks are now located. Our guide told us about many of the buildings we passed and how their uses have changed over time. We saw the original Molson factory.  Molson has a long history in Montreal dating back to 1786.  As the city grew in size due to immigration, many of the new arrivals brought communicable diseases which threatened the water supply. The original brewery was started and flouris
