Back Home

We made it home yesterday with very little incident other than some construction west of Winston-Salem.  We started the day with another outstanding breakfast.  After checking out we headed over to Fontana Dam.  It was pretty neat to see this engineering marvel of the TVA.  The lake was gorgeous and we enjoyed a pleasant walk back and forth across the dam.  Unfortunately they were not letting much water through at the time as I understand it can be quite spectacular when they do.

The kids met us outside when we arrived at the McKenzies'.  Word is that they had a good time and were reasonably well-behaved.  I guess that's about all we can ask for.

Today will be a catch-up day for Amanda as she gets back into the groove.  It's hard to believe that second grade starts on Wednesday, but it is fast-approaching!  At least Labor Day is later this year so she doesn't have three days of school and then a holiday.  Noah starts the Tuesday after Labor Day.
