A New Campground and A Special Celebration

We left Atlanta early Sunday morning and noticed that the leaves were really starting to change -- particularly up on Monteagle Mountain.  It reminded us of our fun leaf-peeping travels with Ken and Bonnie last year from Canada all the way down to Florida.


We had decided to spend some extra time in Nashville in the fall this year but trying to get a campsite in Nashville for an extended period of time is becoming increasingly difficult.  We normally stay at Jellystone but they close about 75% of that campground down October 1st because of the Dancing Lights exhibit and we could not get monthly sites at either KOA or Two Rivers.  We had heard of a new campground being built on Percy Priest Lake and had visited it in the summer while it was still under construction.  When I called them a couple of weeks ago, they had one monthly site left and we took it.  

Our site is nothing special as far as views, but it is completely paved and level.  


First time Chuck has had to parallel park into a site.  Of course, he had no problem at all.


I walked around the campground after we got set up.  Part of the campground is still under construction as they are putting in more sites and are adding a pool, but most of the sites are very nice...



...and have nice views...



...even at night under a full moon.



On Monday evening, we took my mom out to dinner to celebrate her 80th birthday and had a very nice meal at Cheddars.  Because she mentioned she would like to see where we were camped, we came back to the motorhome and had a very nice evening chatting and visiting at the motorhome.  We had a beautiful sunset too.  


My mom sure doesn't look like she just turned 80!  Wouldn't you agree?  :)
