Evans Escapades–We must live a boring life

We have friends who write RV Blogs almost every day about the exciting things they do. . .museum tours, hikes on the beach, wonderful places to eat. . .so I’m trying to come up with something exciting to write about. . .you know. . .just to let everyone know what we’ve been up to.
Sorry to tell you. . .our life is just not exciting.  I mean, we are never bored. . .we love anything and everything, so just going on a hike is an adventure that we thoroughly enjoy. . .but it’s just not spectacular.
Nevertheless, for the sake of friends and family, I will share a few pics, so you will know where we are, and what we are up to. . .here goes. . .
IMGP0872
We made lunch for Dad and my brothers on Father’s Day weekend. . .then headed out. . .
July 2011 - Natchez Trace Parkway
Started up the Natchez Trace Parkway at Jackson MS. . .here’s more on those adventures.
Leiper's Fork TN - July 2011
not sure why the Duke’s of Hazzard Vehicles were parked on the side of the road in Leiper’s Fork, on the Natchez Trace, but it was interesting, so we took a picture. . .
Terminus Bridge ending the Natchez Trace Parkway - Nashville TN
and ended at the Terminus Bridge in Nashville. . .we didn’t drive every inch of it. . .but we drove enough to get a good feel for the experience.   I certainly would not want to have walked that almost 500 miles through the woods. . .
Carnton Plantation -  Franklin TN - July 2011
Enjoyed meeting up with our good friends, the Portman’s who came all the way from Houston to spend the week with us. . .actually they love Franklin TN so much. . .any excuse was a good enough reason to be there. . .
IMGP0906
and they were right. . .
IMGP0903
it is a beautiful little town!
American Goldfinch - Peterson Field Guide to Birds - pg 405 - Franklin TN - July 2011
even the birds were extra beautiful. . .

Spent a day touring Nashville. . .what can I say. . .it’s a big city, and the best way to see a big city is to take a tour. . .which we didn’t do. . .so I’m sure we missed lots.  We’ll come back some day when it’s a lot cooler. . .and spend more time exploring.

and of course, I must have a shot of the Tennessee State Capitol Building for my State Capitol Album
DSC_5935
another shot for another album. . .this time my Bucket List Album. . .I would love to visit every National Park. . .all 247, or however many there are!

So what do you do at Mammoth Cave National park?
You hike. . .

and then you rest. ..
One little boy about four years old asked us why we both had sticks. . .I told him it was because we were old!

You enjoy the view. . .

hike some more. . .

Three and a half miles. . .uphill both ways.
Just glad I didn’t KNOW about the rattlesnakes ‘til we got back!

and of course. . .you MUST tour Mammoth Cave. 
There are all sorts of tours to choose from. . .but we chose a photography tour of Frozen Niagara. . .

It was really great. . .

unless. . .

You’re a little claustrophobic. . .
So that’s about it. . .all the excitement we experienced for the past month. . .
and, if you’re not bored to tears. . .
you can see the rest of the pics. . .here

    I think your life is pretty exciting and just as it should be for you and your husband. That's what counts at our age. Some weeks I draw a complete blank about what to write on my blog. I refuse to drive myself crazy by writing one everyday. That would defeat our whole purpose of moving into an RV fulltime...to enjoy our retirement. So, thanks for doing what you're doing. It's obviously working or else I wouldn't be able to leave a comment:)
