Labor Day Weekend

This Labor Day weekend was a really great one for us. Our good friend Stuart came up from Atlanta to see us and have a couple of adventures. Aside from the game (and seriously, let's just not say anymore about that), we couldn't have asked for a better time.


We grilled out on the new grill. (we have a fabulous back porch) We also took a trip to the Sunsphere, one of the main attractions at the World's Fair Park.







The Sunsphere offers a great view of Knoxville, and the park is beautiful, with lots of fountains and grass. Also, with gas prices the way they are lately, Zach and I thought it might be time to downsize the car...so Zach's taking this one for a test drive...

In addition to the park and "car shopping", we tried out some good restaurants in Market Square, experienced Boomsday with a huge fireworks display on the river, went to church and heard Zach's first sermon here (he did a great job, of course).

Stuart, thanks for visiting us...we loved having you here! And please, the rest of you should plan a trip, too (just maybe not all at once...)
