Another Labor Day Weekend, Another Trip to Tennessee

As many of my trips this year have been threatened or altered by weather, a hurricane warning diverted our Labor Day weekend plans and saw us make a detour to the Smoky Mountains, staying at, of course, a Hampton Inn in Pigeon Forge. It was a decent Hampton, but something about it being pet-friendly squicked us out a little.

On our way, we took a little side trip to admire the Cumberland Gap and stopped off at Andrew Johnson’s homestead in Greeneville, TN (we always seem to sniff out the presidents anywhere we go). We also paid our respects to Andy’s grave. We’ve already decided to return to Cumberland Gap when the leaves change and explore the area more. And, I can now proudly cross all the Tennessee presidents off my list!
