One thing about being retired is that it's very easy to change your mind. Last night we decided not to set the alarm, and it was 9:30 before we made it out of bed! Now keep in mind that I can't remember the last time that Russ wasn't out of bed by 7 a.m.!! So this was very unusual for us.
As we mosied outside to take the dogs for a short walk, our new neighbors invited us to go with them to the Tellico Grains Bakery shop for pastries and coffee. At that point we decided that would be much more relaxing than a long, winding drive through the mountains. So of course we said yes! The bakery is in the town of Tellico Plains, which is very quaint. Think of Mayberry, and you've got the picture. There are no stoplights or stop signs in the town.
After breakfast they suggested they show us around, and we did make it about 15 miles up the trail by car to Bald River Falls. The drive was simply beautiful, and when we got out of the car, Russ just stood there and said he had forgotten that places like this existed.
It was a great day, and we topped it off by christening our new barbecue pit with a couple steaks, baked potatoes, salad, and garlic bread. Oh, I almost forgot, we also had our first 4pm cocktail hour!
After two days, this RVing has been pretty nice. I wonder how we'll feel after two months. It's late, we are still tired, and we now plan on our day trip up the Skyway tomorrow....or maybe the next day or the day after that.
Till then!

Perfect blogging, y'all...informative, chatty, descriptive...and you're making all of us incredibly jealous!
Wish I was there!
Glad you are safe and having a "relaxing" adventure. See you soon.
This is terrific! You both look relaxed. We'll see how that compares to a picture a few months from now!
We visited some friends in Loudon, TN, a few years ago and loved the area.
Enjoy your adventures!
