To continue from the Creation Museum, we left the building via the "Lakeside Grill" and ran into really neet gardens. So here are a few more pictures as we left. Then came another blessing.
When discussing this trip, we considered that we would see great fall colors. We had not idea. As we 
passed through Eastern Kentucky and Northeast Tennessee we saw color. Although I think Georgia did a great job of snapping pictures in our "fly by" photo journaling that you should be used to by now, I'm not sure we still captured the beauty. As we drove, we realized that although we had traversed Kentucky and Tennessee many times in our treks from Indiana and Illinois to Georgia and Florida and back, we had never traveled through here during this time of year. I'm sure Barb and 
Gary in their "Go Tucky" jaunts are used to seeing what we saw this trip. Although we've never seen it, I'm not sure New England can be any prettier. We pulled into Knoxville near dusk to meet our host at the small animal clinic. (The Tennessee River is to our back as we face the entrance.) Out in front is a replica of the monument to the "war dogs" (Dobermans) who gave their lives in service on Guam during world war II. http://www.olive-drab.com/od_wardogs_memorials.php

We were guided to our apartment in Andy Holt Apartments, a University of Tennessee facility for upper 
classmen and graduate students. You can see some pictures at the following (sans the twin beds). http://good-times.webshots.com/album/93288062KiMTrM It is walking distance, across a bridge to the vet school. The only problem we ran into to this point is parking... A real nightmare. (typical of 
campus life.) The people at UT are great. Ran into a couple of old friends and made several new ones. We'll see if I can keep the new ones for another day today. Another fun experience afforded by our brand of retirement.

Wow...those are beautiful colors! Glad you arrived safe and sounds. We've been enjoying some Indian summer weather the last few days...in the 70s and sunny. :)
Once again, you've forced me to change my desktop background. Simply breathtaking.
