American Vacation Begins

I headed out of Knoxville in the afternoon with just a short drive to Nashville. Went straight to Cody/Melanie’s house where I finally got to meet Maggie – the beautiful addition to the Allison household. She has hair like mine currently, but sure if cute. We all went out to dinner and had a great time catching up. Cody’s law practice is doing great and Melanie is now on the Vanderbilt Faculty. After a much too short visit, I headed over to Tim/Carissa’s new home. They just moved a couple of months ago and the new home is gorgeous. There were a lot of things that I want to remember for my home one day, especially the wonderful kitchen and stone/brick features throughout. They have two lovely boys with Luke two years old and Meyer around 10 months old. (I hope I got the names right). Tim is now working with Hospitals/Surgeons in developing Surgery Centers in markets around the country. Carissa’s store is doing great as well. Got some sleep and then Tim and I slipped in a quick run before the day really got started. Now time to start heading West.
