We've been on the move again......

Tuesday, April 19, 2010

Lots of miles have gone by since I last up dated you - this is where we've been and how we have gotten to where we are.

We left Smyrna, TN on Sunday, April 17th and headed toward Pigeon Forge, NC.  We had a really pretty camp spot right on the river and there was even a welcoming committee to greet us - look at this!


These guys came right up to Mom and said "QUACK, QUACK"
When Dad and I went for our evening walk, Mom said 7 of them
tromped through our camp!

Then we headed towards Asheville, NC (Monday, April 18th).  Mom realized that the Biltmore House was here, so we stopped and set up camp.  We all went to the Biltmore House and I stayed in the truck while Mom and Dad toured the inside.  Mom said there were 250 rooms, 43 bathrooms, 8,000 acres, and a winery among other things at this place!  When Mom and Dad got back to the truck, I was able to tour the gardens and they were beautiful!  This should make everybody back home jealous - spring has come to the Biltmore House:

SOME of the Tulips blooming in the garden - the building
in the background it is the GREENHOUSE!

 

Wisteria in bloom - sure smells good!



SOME of the Azaleas.

SOME of the Orchids

Dad and I sharing an Ice Cream Cone...YUMMMMMMMM


















WOW, the camera got a work out here!

Now, we are in Charlotte, SC (Tuesday, April 19th).  It's very warm and humid here, but the squirrels are going "nuts".

We are going to have lunch and visit with a good friend tomorrow.  "Aunt Hazel" is  the aunt of our good friends Hazel and Nori out west.  Mom and Dad said she is really nice - I haven't met her yet, but I'm looking forward to it!  After that, I think Dad is looking at moving farther East to the ocean again!  (I sure hope they have doggie beaches!)

Mom said she is behind on the maps again, so please be patient.....
