We spent a nice Sunday afternoon wandering around Lake Lotus Park in Altamonte Springs, followed by a visit to Lake Lily Park and then dinner at Athena Roasted Chicken (I ordered the vegetarian pita, which was amazing!).

Burger Bar
The Burger Bar in Bristol VA/TN has been around since 1942, so they must be doing something right! It’s also reportedly the last place country music legend Hank Williams Sr. was seen alive. And the grilled cheese is delicious! So, what are you waiting for? Go check it out!

Elk River Falls
If you ever find yourself driving through Elk Park, North Carolina, make sure to take a detour and visit scenic Elk River Falls. It’s a little off-the-beaten path, but well worth the effort!
Appalachian Caverns
We had a unique opportunity to take a personal flashlight tour of Appalachian Caverns in Blountville, Tennessee (just outside of Bristol). The highlight of the tour was watching a cluster of about 500 bats flying around. Great stuff!
