Wes, Darlene (John's sister), Betsy, Bonnie (cousin), John (Carol's husband) and Carol. Fall Creek Falls, October 10, 2009.
If you read Betsy’s blog you know that she has had a couple of her cousins visiting for the weekend. Saturday was a ‘Girls Day Out’, which can read about HERE.
Yesterday they allowed the men to accompany them to Fall Creek Falls State Park for a lunch buffet. I suspect we men were allowed to go along so someone would be there to pick up the tab. But be that as it may, the dinner was absolutely delicious. If you ever have a chance to eat a meal at Tennessee state park, I encourage you to do so. (End of commercial!).
Since Fall Creek Falls is a favorite of ours we had to take Bonnie (from Florida), Carol (from Michigan) and Carol’s husband John on a tour to show them five of our favorite waterfalls. (Okay, one is technically a cascade, but it is still pretty).
After several rainy, cloudy days we actually had some sunshine and beautiful blue skies. Even better, we saw significant autumn color for the first time this season.
All in all it was a gorgeous day and I think we may have some visitors returning to Tennessee fairly soon.

What a great day George. You are lucky to have been invited, as I am sure Betsy could have easily taken your wallet and left you at home. 🙂
But she is sweeter than that.
Sounds like a great day!

I am sure you all had a great time there. I keep trying to get up there to see the colors, I can’t even seem to get to the Smokies and me right here. Now it is going to rain all week, except Tues, but I can’t go Tues. Next weekend is out too. Glad you were able to have a great visit.

George: I think you are right about the reason you got to come.

So glad you all had such a lovely day. I think there needs to be more of that in families.
