Day 6 -Leaving

Some nice weeping willows trees to say goodbye to, and hopefully we will see you again! Our last stop before heading home was Crackle Barrel. I know there are some around the suburbs where we live, but for some reason the food here is bigger and tastier to me although if I get a chance I will go to eat to the ones by my house, still pretty good :) Maybe all the extra butter and sugar in the south makes the difference. Anyway, if you can go to one, try the Apple Streussel French Toast. It is so worth it the run in the treadmill for this tasty dish. Mike had the regular french toast and Ari ate quite a bit of a pancake.



Here we are done and ready to start the close to 10 hours ride back home.



Bye birdies! Bye houses! See you soon! (That was Ari's goodbye)


Oh, grandpa I took this picture just for you!

Crossing the line between Kentucky and Indiana.


A shot of the many factories in Indiana. I liked this one for some reason. And to answer Mike, no I just took one shot :)


Our one stop to stretch our legs and refuel our tummies (we only stopped 1-2 more for gas). Arianna was so happy and Mike picked this McDonalds because it had the play area for her to run a bit. What a wonderful daddy!


Love how the clouds look here.


Mike happy to be home after driving so much. In Gatlinburg, we went to a cigar shop, our first time in a shop like this, to buy a thank you gift for our neighbor that keeps an eye when we are not here and waters or puts back our garbage or whatever else we may need. So, he likes cigars so we got him 3. I did not know all the different choices and prices. The guy was very helpful and explained to us differences, smells, brands ,etc... Then, we picked 3. It was a nice experience.


Arianna's favorite gadget/toy from Gatlinburg was this long doggy (or snake according to her) that holds one of her favorite things -Crayons! She did not see it until we got home.

And that ends a very nice and relaxing vacation. :)
