Cherokee National Park
Our first stop is lunch at the park. This park is in the Tennessee mountains. It was a beautiful place for our first picnic. The girls had a great time running around and stretching after the car ride. Our goal is to reach Fall Creek Falls Park for our first campsite. It is a 6 hour drive from home.
For those of you who don't know much about this trip, my girls and I are traveling with another homeschool family to see some of the historic sites in the USA. We will travel together as far as Oklahoma before we continue on different routes. We feel priviledged to be able to take our children out into the world to learn instead just reading everything in a book. Though we LOVE our books.
One thing we noticed as we drove around was that the water levels in all of the lakes and rivers appear to be much lower than they might normally be. We based this observation on the exposed dirt banks of the waters edge.
Though we are starting out with a plan, and a possible schedule, we are leaving ourselves open to the adventure and where it may take us. We are leaving our watches at home!
We will update the page as we can. Keep checking back. There are adventures to come.
