Gatlinburg Expedition Day 1

No apologies or excuses. You will get the story of this summer's trip as I get time to write it.

 

We have started our trek to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. By we, I mean Anita, Leah,Chris, and myself.

The trip started yesterday after a long day at work. I was acting principal and I had a day filled with meaningless crises. But eventually Anita picked me up at work and we drove to Alvin to Leah and Chri's house. The trip was uneventful except that the van tires were making a strange thumping sound. When we got to Alvin, Anita took it to a repair shop to have it checked out. We had the tires balanced and rotated before we left. They did not tighten the lug nuts sufficiently on the left front tire. It only took a few minutes for them to tighten the nuts and check the others and it was good to go.
