We actually got home Thursday September 29 after a week on the road riding to Charleston, SC to Pigeon Forge, TN and then over to Gary an Lisa Mace’s for a night stay. All in all it was a good trip. We got to see some of the sights in Charleston and learned a few things along the way. The one that I came away with is that I really want to trace my family roots.
In Pigeon Forge we played a little bit and saw a show, which is something that Lori and I rarely do. The show was a musical with a 50-60-70- and 80’s review. It was fun and I would recommend it, even though it was a bit loud. The Grand Majestic Theatre was the name of the place in Pigeon Forge. I would also like to mention that if you time, you have to eat at the Applewood Farmhouse at least once in life time for a great southern meal and neat place to shop. Just make sure your hungry because it is a lot of food.
Lastly if you click the picture link below you will see Gary and Lisa's retirement home and what a fine job they did picking out their spot. It might not be for everybody out there, but you cannot deny how pretty the layout is and how well a job they did building around their personalities and needs. The trailer in the first couple of pictures is where Lori and I stayed for the night. It brought back some fond memories of camping when I was a kid going with my parents. The only difference is that my parents had a 22’ popup tent trailer, so staying in this trailer was like staying in the Ritz. The Mace’s two boys and Lisa fixed us a nice dinner, cooking out on the grill and their boys are quite the cooks. I do not believe that Gary is having a hard time adjusting to his new job of honey do’s, arranging his toy box, playing around with his boys, motorcycle riding, fishing, and retirement in general. As for me, after our visit to Pigeon Forge and the Mace’s, it has restored my interest in finding property in this general area just to sit on until my time arrives.
Thanks again Mace’s.
