Caching on Sunday & On to Morristown & A Visit With Kim & Sean 3/22-24/2009

Sunday we drove into Asheville to do a little caching and see if we could find a couple of the puzzle and multi-caches we had done earlier in the week and couldn't find the final cache location for. Well as far as that was concerned we didn't have any luck whatsoever in finding them and we felt they must have been muggled and just hadn't been replaced. The man that hid them has over 1400 cache hides and it is beyond us how he maintains them all and we guess obviously he doesn't do a good job at all. We did find 4 caches after wasting so much time looking for the other ones. We found one puzzle and one multi cache and then 2 traditional caches located in malls so we guess the day wasn't a total waste but very frustrating. We drove on back to the coach and had lunch, watched TV and then dinner and that was our day.
Monday we got all packed up and headed to Morristown, TN and a visit with Kim and Sean. We had a great drive through the Smokies as it was a very lovely warm day. We were staying at Panther Run SP and when we got there we found a site, as it was self register, got all set up and drove to the house as it was only about 2 miles from the campgrounds. It was nice to see Sean as he had taken a few days off to see us and he had to fly back to NJ on Wednesday and then on to Australia for a week on Friday. He showed us around their new house and we sat and talked. We all went to a local wing place for lunch as Sean was treating and the wings were very good. The only thing was I couldn't get a beer as I didn't have proof with me as I guess EVERYBODY has to show proof at places in TN. Kim got home about 7:00, and it was great to see her and she also looked very good despite all the hard work she is putting in. Sean had made dinner for all of us and after we sat and talked and watched TV till we left about 9:30.
Tuesday we went to Sean's early and I help him take 2 loads of boxes and cardboard to the landfill that they had left over from unpacking after the move. Mom did a couple of loads of laundry while we were gone. Mom and Sean went out to lunch at a cute little place in Morristown that had "girls" lunches and Mom enjoyed spending that time with Sean very much. When they got back and we had to go to the store and get a few things and took them back to the coach and put everything away and headed back to Sean's. Kim got home about 7:30 and we had ordered BBQ from Smoky's a great local restaurant in Dandridge, TN about 20 minutes from the house. After we ate we watched TV for awhile and we headed back to the coach for the night.
Well until next time I guess that's all the news that's fit to print......and not very exciting at all but we love and miss you all. Mom & Dad
