July 8, 2022 - A day around Eastern Tennessee

 Today we drove around Knoxville driving by five houses we had been watching on Zillow.  We crossed off four of them, liked the last one that we saw - it is now pending a sale.  Houses are going fast here.  Lots of new residential and commercial building in all of Tennessee.

We took the scenic route to lunch as the navigation system said we would save 3 minutes.  Never again will we save 3 minutes to drive on the windy roads!   Abby and I do not do well on windy roads. The scenery is beautiful though.  For lunch we ate at Cooke Dough Monster Burgers and Shakes.  I had a grilled cheese pepperoni sandwich as you will see in the picture. Abby had cheese curds that were too spicy for all of us.  All of their cookies had been baked and sold.  You could buy balls of cookie dough to eat but you had to buy a minimum of four.  We passed on that and Abby had vanilla ice cream on a waffle cone.  I know, I know, I passed on cookie dough!!!

We had rain on and off all day.  After lunch we stopped at WalMart for supplies and bicycles.  While in WalMart we could hear the rain pelting the roof.  We all found bikes and Abby was able to ride hers when we got back to our beautiful campsite.  We stayed at Buddy Bear In the Smokies.  This is a beautiful campsite.  We swam several times and walked around the park.
