Dolly Wood in Tennessee

 I toot a trip to Tennessee to see Dolly Wood with 3 of my high school girlfriends- Brittany Lyman Lotts, Mindy Hanzon Tuikolovatu and Tara Talbot Lee. What a pretty state and they are very proud of their very own Dolly Parton. My friends are funny and the trip was a great get away. We were a little bit upset when we got into the park and the museum with all of Dolly's belongings was closed because of covid. Her tour bus was also closed. Very disappointing. The whole reason I wanted to go there.  We tried to complain and get our money back. They just gave us a raincheck. Oh well. We found a ride we liked and the park was fun to wander especially with the lights at dark. We also drove into North Carolina for a tour of the Biltmore Mansion. Amazing. 

Next morning, breakfast on our way to Dollywood

 Headed to the Biltmore Mansion in North Carolina

and the rest, not really in the right order, but we walked around Knoxville on a scavenger hunt to find all 7 or 8 famous murals.

I should really blog about these things when they happen rather than a year and 1/2 later. Then I can give some fun detail! It was really fun to be on a trip with friends.
