Raccoon Mountain in Chattanooga, TN: Campground Review

March 3, 2017 by kokotg 2 Comments

Travel dates: Saturday, November 19-Sunday, November 20 We spent much of our very busy fall (full of the kids doing a play and Dave finishing his master’s) trying desperately to fit in a weekend trip and failing miserably. We booked or thought about booking weekend after weekend, but things kept popping up to keep us […]

Great Smoky Mountains Trip, Part 2: Outside the Park

September 18, 2016 by kokotg 4 Comments

A great feature of a trip to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, TN area is that it has a little bit of everything: there’s scenic beauty and hiking and general outdoorsiness if you’re into that, or there are overpriced cheesy tourist traps if that’s more your speed.

Great Smoky Mountains Trip, Part 1: Inside the Park

September 13, 2016 by kokotg 5 Comments

Tennessee State Museum, The Ryman Auditorium, and the Zoo: A Weekend in Nashville, Part 2

December 15, 2015 by kokotg Leave a Comment

So when we left off in part one, we had already visited Fort Negley and the Parthenon, and it was still only lunchtime! I’m very impressed with our October selves! Our lunch mission was to find and consume some of Nashville’s famous hot chicken. On the recommendation of Amber and Nick from Wills Casa, we […]

Fort Negley and the Parthenon: A Weekend in Nashville, Part 1

December 14, 2015 by kokotg 4 Comments

Hey–new blog! I started writing this post several weeks ago for the other blog, but then I decided to save it to be the inaugural post on this, my brand spanking new travel blog. Exciting!
