Grandma & Grandpa's visit

We just had a nice visit from Dan's parents, Walt & Anita. They came out from Albuquerque and stayed with us for a week and while they were here, we went downtown for a paddle boat tour on the river, went up in the Sunsphere, took a train ride in Oak Ridge, went shopping for a pumpkin, saw our new house, and then we went to the zoo. We also played cards and enjoyed many great meals both at home and out. Molly had a great time getting to know her grandparents, having them read to her and play with her. We miss them already and can't wait to see them again.

Here are photos from Friday when we went downtown...


We had seats facing the front of the Star of Knoxville Paddle Boat for the best views.


The Gay Street Bridge.

A view of the river with Calhoun's Restaurant, (where we had lunch), on the left.


Yes, this IS "Big Orange Country" for darn sure.


Passing by Neyland Stadium, where the University of Tennessee Volunteers play.


The paddle wheels.




Molly looking at the water. (Yes, the brakes were locked on the stroller)


Getting so sleepy....


....and, she's out.


Molly and me as we came back to the dock.


After the paddle boat ride, we went to the Sunsphere in World's Fair Park.


I actually took this photo back in April on our first trip out there...a view from inside the Sunsphere.
