Pat & George Visit--May 13-19,2010

On the morning of Thursday May 13 , Pat and George called to say they were about an hour from us having just exited Route 40. And sure enough by noon they were pulling in, but not without some advance preparation to make sure their "home" would fit in our driveway. We had emailed pictures and measurements back and forth to have them "look" and see if everything would work out and of course it did.
Question: Will one Big Motor Home fit through this gate and be able to park in the back?
Answer: Yes it could!
It was a great visit, we visited the Hermitage, the home of Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the US. The weather was perfect, not too hot or too cool. We got in a good walk and enjoyed the spacious grounds and the mansion.
Beautiful staircase at the entrance to the mansion.
Now for the burning question: Who is buried in Jackson's Tomb? Why Rachel & Andrew.
Kendra had just been here on Sunday, but she since she seldom gets to see Aunt Pat and Uncle George she wanted to see them while they were so close, so... she came up again on Friday with Rory. Adam, Tami, Tony and Connor were also here a number of times since they were in nearby Nashville and could run out easier.

Xena is especially fond of Pat and has been ever since she was a puppy. So she would wait outside the motor home until Pat came out and then follow her wherever she went.
Is she ever going to come out?
Yeah! Pat, Pat, hey Pat I'm behind you.
Shadow and Pepper figured Xena shouldn't get all the attention and naturally Pat had the goodies.
All good things must come to an end and so did Pat & George's visit. Very early Wednesday morning they got up and began the process of pulling up camp to head for Ohio. We had such a good time it was sad to see them go. But.. we look forward to the next visit!
