I love the Warner Park system (Edwin and Percy). I have chosen my last two homes based on proximity to these parks. We recently moved to Bellevue and now live closer to Edwin Warner Park. We spend a ton of time in this park hiking and biking. Edwin Warner Park is my 2nd Favorite Park …

Our goal is to visit all the state parks in Tennessee. We have been lucky to have a very nice one right near our house in Nashville for all our life. Radnor is a human-made lake, but it is still spectacular and amazing to be right in the middle of a large city (Nashville). We’ve …
We hit the road on Fall Break to visit 3 of the far-flung little ones. We were going to see Emmaline in Orlando and decided to swing by Knoxville to see Max and Chattanooga to see Molly along the way. 1,500 miles later our fuel tank was empty, our wallets were empty from resupplying the …

[Throwback] We spent a day in Las Vegas before flying home from a family vacation in the area. I came home with a little extra cash in my pocket! Because I’m a winner! Some might even say a shark! Too bad Emily came home with less cash in her pocket! Oh well, Vegas isn’t really …
On day 7 of our trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we set out to hike to Andrews Bald. We detoured up the Newfound Gap Parkway to see Mingo Falls too. We made several unplanned stops along the way that were also fun including Mingus Mill and the Oconaluftee Visitor Center. 8/7/2020
We spent Halloween at Edgar Evins State Park to hike the 7+-mile Merritt Ridge and Millennium Trails. This was a pretty hard hike and also one of the less-traveled trails we’ve ever been on. At times it felt like we were just wandering along in the open forest. The views of Center Hill Lake hiking …
