Took off today on the bike and did a nice tour of Franklin TN. Nice 15 mile trip with some pretty views along the way. Rode a little through downtown as well!!

I did have to replace a tube part-way through the ride, but the park was a nice place to have to do that!! I hit a bad pothole trying to miss a couple walkers and a dog……

Then finished the evening with a good dinner and beer at Old Chicagos!

Spent today around the Franklin area, went to the Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge and a couple stops on the road there. Had a funny discussion with Shannon and Nic on what the difference between a walk and hike is when you are talking about tracking activities in a fitness app…..

Started breakfast at Puckitts Franklin.

Then we drove out to Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge and surrounding area.

Then we finished up walking around Franklin TN and grabbing some food (and of course Starbucks).

Left Raleigh to take some time off and visit @Shannon and Nic in Tennessee. It’s just under an 8 hour drive, so @Harley and I took off!! @sandra will be flying in later to visit with her sister and brother-in-law. The trip out was uneventful for us, but not for others as we passed and were diverted around 6 or 7 different accidents. ⁹

Shannon and Nic arrived a few hours after we did!! It is great to see them. Looking forward to spending the next couple days with them.
