Safely back at Rambling Road

 

Saturday September 30, 2023

 

Up and out to find breakfast since our Quality Inn had none.  There was a spot nearby with good reviews, so we ate an OK breakfast and were soon on our way. We had an uneventful trip on north quickly passing from Alabama into Georgia for about 20 miles and we were back in Tennessee. 

Quickly on through Chattanooga and Knoxville eating lunch somewhere along the way.  When we reached the Sevierville exit on I 81 we thought we would try visiting “our” Buc-ee’s.  It was now midafternoon on a Saturday. Big Mistake.  The traffic just to get off the main road into the road to drive up to the Buc-ee’s we waited through 2 red light cycles.  Long drive and a circle to get into the parking lot - it appeared every gas pump area was full – traffic in the parking lots terrible – people driving around waiting for someone to leave a parking spot.  Needless to say, we were not going to wait on a spot to battle through crowds of people when we really did not want anything! 

Back on the road for us and we got home late afternoon with no incidents. 

Jane feeling less than optimal and less good weather than we expected made for a less than perfect trip.  However, it was nice to get away from home for a few days and after the medication had time to work Jane was back to feeling good in a few days.  Not our best vacation but no major incidents.
