Here Comes the Sun or We Finally Drove to Where the Sun is Shining

Today we headed out from our motel around 8:30AM and headed south once again. Today found us heading toward Knoxville Tennessee. We stopped at the Museum of Appalachia (http://www.museumofappalachia.org/) and had lunch, which was a little disappointing. We had the Chicken and Dumplings with two sides but there where more dumplings then chicken, oh well disappointment is part of life. We walked around the village for a short time, which has many buildings that where actually used at one time in the Appellation Mountains. There was one building dedicated to the people of the appellation mountains. It showed pictures and stories from many people along with the things they used. All in all a very interesting place. We then headed to our next motel in Sweetwater Tennessee. After checking in we rested for a bit then went down for a swim in the indoor pool, very refreshing. Tonight we had dinner in the room. It dinner consisted of raw vegetables, a bowl of soup, a ham and cheese wrap, and for desert a banana with milk and cookies (very good).
