Tennessee

With today being MLK Jr. day Aaron and I didn't have classes so we thought it'd be fun to drive down to Greeneville in East Tennessee to visit Aaron's grandma, Barbara. Since we'd be passing through Lexington on our way down we called Noah and Mel to see if they wanted to go down with us and they said yes! Friday after classes were over Aaron and I headed down pick up Noah, Mel, baby Eden and puppy Saul. We got down to Tennessee at about 10p.
Saturday morning we went out for an awesome breakfast at this little local place. When we were getting back to the house Aaron's Uncle Tim and his girlfriend Michelle showed up. We hung out with them for the afternoon and they took us to this "world famous" BBQ place called Ridgewood Barbeque. It was pretty delicious! Saturday night when we got home Mel and I went to bed early and Noah and Aaron decided to stay up have the night finishing a puzzle Barbara was working on and starting a new one.
Sunday morning Barbara made us a wonderful breakfast. We went outside to clean up Barbara's yard a bit, just picking up sticks and such. Then Aaron's Uncle Tim came back over along Mary Frank who is Janice (Aaron's mom) and Tim's aunt. We visited with them the rest of the day and headed back for Kentucky that evening. Aaron and I stayed the night at Mel and Noah's last night to help break up the drive and came back to Oxford tonight.
All in all the trip was wonderful. We all slept way to much (especially Noah) and ate some amazing food. Saul looooved being on a farm and smelling all the smells that come with being in the country. It was nice to get to know Aaron's grandma some more. Hopefully we'll make it back again soon!
This was my second time visiting the farm and it is one of the most beautiful places. Here are some pictures to prove my point:-)
