Organization and the Best Western

We have discovered that Abi inherited her organization skills (or lack of them) from me. Neither of us did such a great job organizing our stuff. I think an overhaul will be in order sometime today or maybe in the hotel tonight.

Getting ready this morning was a gargantuan effort in finding everything we needed. Oh well. We'll get it right. We've never taken on a trip this long - the last time I was on a week long vacation - and it was really more like 5 days - was when I was a teenager. That was a very long time ago. We're not going to say how long.

Breakfast this morning was slightly better than I expected. We're at the Best Western in Knoxville and, like most hotels these days, a complementary breakfast is served. I usually can't eat anything at hotels since I have to stay gluten free and most of the fare is cereal, bagels, waffles, etc.

They actually had bacon and egg patties. And yes, I really do mean egg patties - they looked like little yellow miniature pancakes. I passed as I'm not a big egg fan to begin with, but they had that and bacon and orange juice, so I at least got a little snack to start the day. We'll figure out lunch later.

Today's adventure is the Mabry-Hazen House and then on to Nashville. The Mabry-Hazen House is a Civil War historical site, so we shall see what adventure awaits there and let you know.

And Abi says for Mom to hurry up and get moving since all she does on this trip is wait on me to be ready to go. (Note that we haven't even been gone 24 hours yet). Teenagers.
