It was great to be back on home turf for a couple of weeks to visit with family and friends. I kicked off my tour by hijacking my mothers car and heading directly to Nashville to see some music (no, NOT country music) followed by some much needed family time in Knoxville. Having the opportunity to spend time with my awesome 100 year old Grandma was priceless. I was just happy she knew who I was everyday. After a few days home I ventured over to Durham and Asheville North Carolina (I LOVE ASHEVILLE!) to visit friends and to hike, then back to TN to close the tour. I was pretty excited to leave Teton Valley since winter started early this year---late September. No kidding. Getting back East during the peak of fall colors and 60-70 degree temps was a real treat. It was also nice to miss most of the "mud season" in Teton Valley and return to a white snowy winter wonderland. I love where I live.
