Let's Go Fly A Kite (or go for a hike)!

Percy and Edwin Warner Parks are two of our favorite escapes during the week. The dogs get so excited when we load them up and start heading towards the trails- they can hardly sit still!

There are hiking trails, areas for bikers, and horse trails as well. Depending on the time of day we arrive (since the park closes at dark) we either take one of the 5 mile loops or a 2 1/2 mile loop. Both are beautiful and full of creatures- thus far we have seen countless squirrels and chipmunks, a variety of bird life, and several deer.

At the bottom of one side of Percy Warner Park you will find Iroquois Steeplechase, a lovely site for races and equestrian events. If nothing else, I'm sure it's perfect for kite and picnic season too. We have yet to experience an event first hand but it is a must after the Winter months.

Visits with Camp Friends

Steven and I are so fortunate to have some of my great friends from Camp McDowell in and around Tennessee. Recently we've had friends come visit us from Chattanooga and Asheville- we joined forces with other camp friends in town and made memories around Nashville!

This past weekend it was our turn to make a trip over to Chattanooga. Steven and I stayed with the Ackleys in their great place on the Tennessee River, at the base of Signal mountain.
It's always fun to explore what new cities have to offer, especially in the amazing Fall weather!
