I just scored bit time again at Old Navy!  They are having their 40% off all clearance items.  While I did not get as many items this time as I normally do, I got some really high quality coats for my nieces, some clothes for Jon and Matt, sandals for Jon and lunch boxes for Lyshie and Jon.  I just LOVE a good sale! Retail Price $294.68 Price we paid was $49.96

Can it really be the last day oƒ our trip?  I can't believe that by the time the sun sets, we'll be home.  It's bittersweet.  I always love being home after being gone for a few days.  After being on the road for a bit, my dear hubby was pulling off the side of the road.  When asked why he said "because you need a Tennessee magnet".  Yeah once again for hubby!  Now my set could be complete!  He stopped off at the Museum of Appalacia.  He sure knows me!  I was so bummed we couldn't stay and take a tour - not enough time.  That said, it was so nice snapping these photos.  Matt and I hope to take a trip here sometime again in the future when we can spend more time enjoying it. Appalachia Heritage Museum store. Outside buildings. Inside the store. Chickens were there to greet us.  Jon loved them!  They were allowed to wander freely. Quilts in the store. Neat cookbooks and such. We hope t...

Today is the day we head out for home!  It's amazing how time has flown and yet stretched out a bit as well. Weird how that happens.  I was still very tired from Disney as well as from a little boy who woke up several times to nurse for long periods of time.  Ok, it was only 2 times but it seemed like many.   rofl!  He didn't have protein food before he went to bed - always happens.  Anyway, I awoke to my hubby making some eggs and toast.  I had a leftover burger from yesterdays lunch and had some of that as well.  Very good breakfast!  We are in a rush getting things packed, cleaned and ready to head out of this sunshine state.  After I had gone through the rooms, I walked out seeing some very bored kids.  I thought, "hmmm, I should give them a job to do."  Jon especially feels very important when he has an "important" job to do. "Hey Jon, I have a very, very important job that needs done.  Are you able to hel...

Being pretty stinkin' worn out from last night, I slept in till about 10 am!  I awoke to find breakfast from Panera.  Mmmm, my hubby sure knows me!  For reasons I'll not go into now, we ended up calling many places in the area to finally find Jonathan a pull string Woody doll.  It was too cold to go to the beach unfortunately :(  After that we went to a fun book shop where I could have probably stayed all day and spent lots of $$.  However, not a penny was spent which was a good thing.  Lyshie at Johnny Rockets with Joshie. Me at Johnny's. Jon at Johnny Rockets. The view outside the restaurant. Inside Johnny Rockets. What they do to every bowl of ketchup.  Cute! It was already lunch time at this point.  We found Bonefish Grille which looked fabulous and piled out of the car only to find out that it didn't open till 4pm.  Stink!  So, on to Johnny Rockets, which still proved to be fun. Inside of Shell World.  Anoth...
