Our Trip To Tennessee, Part III
After a fine breakfast at Bob Evans (and it was so good I picked up a map of the whole south & middle Atlantic states because they show the locations of all the BE restaurants 
) we drove over to finally visit with Michele, David & the kids. TB was so excited, he was taking pictures before we even got in the door.
We haven't seen each other since June so it was a joyous reunion. I'm sharing several pictures here but plan to upload more to Nana & Pop-Pop's House, showcasing the grandkiddies.

At first, we all got caught up and got to see some of the things the kids got for Christmas.
We'd gotten Nikky a rocking horse
Taylor showed off her new Bratz doll
Ryan loves his new Star Wars light saber.
Brandon's cool truck was a big hit
Everyone got a kick out of playing with the new toys--and the cats. Sylvester was so cute. He batted his catnip mouse all over the place, chased it and carried it proudly in his mouth like it was the real thing!
About midmorning, Michele and David asked us if we'd like to see Douglas Dam and Lake. TB could shoot some pictures. We said sure, we'd love to! And so off we went.
