We had one lady who was running late. We were on the road by 7:30 A.M.

Our first stop was Sweetwater Farms in Philadelphia, TN. 

This was a restroom break and a place to shop. 

This was a working farm where they sold a variety of cheeses and let you sample them. 

We bought a block of sharp cheddar cheese and a box of Elk, Savory Spring Onion Crackers. Spent $10.36.

We stopped for lunch at Bush Bean Restaurant around 12:57. Hubby and I both ordered the roast beef with creamed potatoes, carrots, baked beans, and cherry pie.

After the meal, everyone toured the Bush Bean Museum. We were there until 2:50 P.M.

We loaded onto the bus and were on our way to Asheville, NC, arriving at 4:40 P.M.

We are staying at the Villa Hotel on the Biltmore property. We were greeted by the hotel manager, who gave a speech about the hotel and the surrounding area. 

Our luggage was taken off the bus and delivered to our room 8378.

Today we are eating breakfast on level two in the kitchen Cafe.

I ordered gravy, biscuit, sausage, and water. 

After breakfast, we walked around in the Antler Hill Village, but nothing opened until 11 A.M. 

We returned to the hotel and waited for our bus tour and guide, David, at 8:30 A.M.

We rode around the Biltmore grounds for about 1 hour, with our guide informing us about the property. 

Our group leader, Angie, took a group photo in front of the Biltmore House 

We returned to the hotel and once again toured Antler Hill Village. We walked down the hill to the barn to visit the animals there: chickens, goats, and pigs. 

We toured the Biltmore Legacy museum and ate lunch at Cedric's Tavern. 

Hubby and I split a lobster roll with chips, a jar of dill pickles, and a Diet Coke. Our server, Chris, asked if we were celebrating a birthday or an Anniversary, and I laughed and said we both just celebrated one in October.

Half Lobster roll and chips 

Our birthdays are just a day apart, and our Anniversary was the last day of August. We enjoyed the lobster roll, which was loaded with large pieces of delicious lobster. It was more than enough to feed two people. As we were finishing our meal, our server, Chris, brought out two platters, each with two chocolate truffles. On one platter, in Chocolate, was "Happy Birthday." On the other platter, in Chocolate, was 'Happy Anniversary'.

At 1:20 P.M., we boarded the bus to tour a replica of Tutankhamun's tomb and his treasures at Amherst at Deer Park.

Tombs

We were given an audio to listen to as we toured the replica of the Tutankhamun display. 

British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the Boy King's tomb fully intact in 1922. 

Inside the tomb was a golden mask, jewelry, furniture, statues, weapons, and King Tutankhamun's mummy. 

The Egyptians believed that the souls continued to exist after death. Extensive rituals and offerings were performed to aid the king in his journey and ensure a favorable afterlife.

After the Tutankhmun exhibit, we continued to the Biltmore House, Gardens, and gift shops.

The Conservatory closed at 5 P.M., so several of our group headed there. There were many stairs leading down to the Conservatory. Most of the outside gardens were dead and were being dug up, but the Conservatory was filled with beautiful flowers and plants.

After touring the Conservatory, we returned to the Biltmore House gift shops, where we shopped until it was time to eat at the Barn Cafe. 

Chocolate Moose

Pot Roast 

Squash Soup 

At 4:30, we entered the Barn Cafe and were served roast beef, creamed potatoes, carrots, a savory cream squash soup, and cherry pie. 

At 6:15, we lined up to enter the Biltmore house, which was decorated for Christmas. 

Inside, we saw several bedrooms, dining rooms, a library, and a group of children singing in a choir in the foyer. 

Each room was roped off, and each rope guided you in the direction they wanted you to go. 

Hubby took the elevator back down to the first floor, and there we met one of our members, who said, "Have you seen the basement?" We said, "No." 

 We walked down a long hall that led to the Basement. 

We saw a swimming pool, a gym, the pantry, the freezer/refrigerator, the servants' quarters, and a storage area. We also saw the Halloween Room.

We walked back upstairs and out the exit door. We walked to the area where the shuttle was to pick us up.

There were too many of us to fit on the shuttle, so the guard called a van to pick up the last 15 of us and take us back to the Village Hotel.

I picked up three chocolate chip cookies in the lobby to take to our room. I ate two cookies and drank a Diet Coke, then took a shower and went to bed.

Day 3: November 21, Friday:

I was up at 5 A.M, worked on my journal and photos.

We packed our bags and set them outside our room at 7:00 A.M.

Took a shower, got ready, and went to the kitchen Cafe for breakfast.

I ordered one scrambled egg, cheese grits, bacon, apple butter, biscuit, and cranberry juice.

Breakfast 

Loaded onto the bus at 8:15 and was on the road at 8:30 A.M. We traveled to Knoxville. 

We stopped at Love's for a restroom break. Our next stop was to ride the Star River Paddle Boat in Knoxville, Tennessee.

It was pouring rain when we arrived. We were a little early, so we sat on the bus until the rain stopped. 

We unloaded the bus and headed to the pier, but as we were getting off, one of the ladies slipped and fell onto her face. She had a large, swollen bruise on her face. 

They had prepared a buffet-style meal for us to enjoy while we cruised along the river.

We ate pot roast, corn, carrots, creamed potatoes, baked chicken, biscuits, and baked apples. 

When we finished, several of us walked to the bow of the boat for a better view. 

The windows on the lower level were covered in rainwater. 

It had stopped raining, but it was still a little cool and breezy.

I discovered that the pipes on the boat were warm, so I backed up to one to keep warm. 

Lunch 

Paddle Boat 

Downtown Knoxville 

Along the way I saw a bald eagle, several Great Blue Herons, an old railroad track, the Tennessee Football stadium, the downtown area, and a bridge. 

After our ride, we loaded back onto the bus and began our journey to Scottsboro. We stopped one more time at Love's in Jasper, TN, where Hubby bought two Diet Cokes and a large order of fries at the adjoining McDonald's. 

We played Bingo on the way to Scottsboro, and everyone won something. 

When we arrived in Scottsboro, our group leader said to let the party with the woman who fell out first. 

They were from Wetumpka, Alabama, and they were going to take the woman to the doctor.

We put our luggage into our car and begin our two-hour journey home. 

Hubby dropped me off and he went to his sisters for Thanksgiving. I was too tired. 

I uploaded some of my photos, took a shower, and went to bed.

2020 Jul 10, Sunflower Fields of Autaugaville, Pratt Park in Prattville and Peach Park Clanton, Alabama

There is nothing hotter than a day in the south in July.

We had been cooped up way too long; hot or not, we were in dire need of a new adventure. 

 I had posted a photo of a field full of sunflowers on Facebook and told my Hubby that I wanted to go. 

 

We rode for several hours to a sunflower field located at 3301 Hwy 14 West, Autaugaville, Alabama. 

There were Sunflower haystacks on either side of the drive as we entered the driveway. 

There were already several cars parked and people walking among the sunflowers, and we were directed where to park. 

We got out of the car with our bucket and pruners to cut the sunflowers. 

Sunflowers are $ 1 each or by the bucket. They were also selling T-shirts and other items. 

We saw a patch of Zinnia and a tractor parked near the sunflower field. There were stacks of hay where you could sit for a picture. 

We began our journey into the field. There were paths that others had tread, or you could make your own path. 

We didn't walk too far because it was hot, and there were a lot of beautiful sunflowers nearby. 

I chose two large sunflowers for seeds and three small ones for a bouquet. 

We stopped to take a few pictures at the haystack and a couple at the entrance.

Beauty shop in Prattville 

Pratt Vegetable Park Prattville, Alabama 

Hubby and I stopped at Pratt Park in Prattville, where we strolled through the community vegetable garden, which was raised to help people in need. 

It features a variety of vegetables, including strawberries, tomatoes, okra, watermelons, and peppers, as well as sunflowers planted in raised beds surrounded by laid brick.

There were wire-arched ways for climbing vegetables and ten-foot-tall wire walls for climbing plants, such as squash.

There was a concrete walkway through the vegetable garden.

It is a garden's paradise.  

Hubby and I always stop in Clanton at Peach Park,

 known to have the best peaches in South Alabama. 

Peach Park is more than a park, it is a Farmer's Market with fresh produce and canned goods, 

RV Park to stay overnight.

 There is an ice cream shop, sweets, bakery, gift shop, and lunch counter all rolled into one. 

There is plenty of seating outside and inside. 

Playground for the kids and walking trails for everyone. 

Lunch consisted of 

 Hot Peach Cobbler covered in Peach Ice Cream, 

Fried Green Tomatoes, 

Pulled Pork and fried Onion rings

This was our first long-distance day trip since my knee surgery in March 2020.

Monday, March 25, 2019

It was a one-and-a-half-hour drive to Naples, so we arrived at Lora's apartment early in the morning. We both slept late.

For breakfast, I ate a slice of raisin bread and a banana. 

Lora had an infusion in Fort Myers that day, so I rode with her. We stopped at Bass Pro Shops, located just off I-75 at 10040 Gulf Center, Fort Myers.

At Bass Pro Shop, we saw river fish, ocean fish, raccoons, black bears, waterfowl, alligators, and the Everglades.

The bartender said I could come inside and take pictures of the tropical fish and coral reefs in the aquarium. Hanging on the walls, we saw Southern Stingrays, a Great Hammerhead Shark, Sailfish, yellow tuna, and black-tip sharks.

Outside, we saw an old blue Red Head Pickup and a Great Gray Heron Bench where people could sit.

Red Head Pickup

I bought a pair of sunglasses to block out the sun so my eyes wouldn't get fit. 

Lora gave me one of her Zyrtec for allergies and some saline to wash out my eyes. 

She also gave me one of her steroid tablets for the infection. 

At lunch, we stopped at Chick-fil-A. Lora and I split a salad, and each ordered a chicken sandwich with water to drink at location 5825 Airport Pulling Rd, Naples, FL. 

I was so tired from the day's adventures and not getting enough sleep that I fell asleep on the sofa while Lora and Jackie went shopping.

Tuesday, March 26, 2019 

Lora had an early morning infusion, so I watched TV until she returned. For breakfast, I ate a banana and a slice of raisin bread. 

For lunch, Lora made a ham, cheese, avocado, and spinach sandwich on toasted bread, accompanied by a fruit salad. 

We rode to Clam Bay Beach, 410 Seagate Drive, Naples, FL 34103, where we took the trolley down the walkway to the beach.

Clam Bay Beach 

Pelican at Clam Bay Beach 

The Park consists of 35 acres of mangrove forest, coastal dunes, and 3,200 linear feet of beach on the Gulf of Mexico. A boardwalk provides access to the beach through a mangrove forest. The boardwalk is about three-quarters of a mile long and can be walked, or you can catch a ride on a free tram that runs continuously throughout the day.

We saw several people on the beach, including boaters and fishermen. We saw waterfowl flying overhead and in the water. A dolphin and a manatee were spotted. We saw children playing in the sand. We saw a couple of children fishing and catching fish.

We saw a sign that read 'Welcome to Clam Pass Park.' A sign that read 'Shells of Paradise Coast' included worm shells, Calico Scallops, Mon Snail, Olive shells, Fighting Conch, Sand Dollar, Lightning Whelk, Starfish, and Horse Conch. There was a sign about Palmetto and Fakahatchee grass.http://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/plants/ornamentals/fakahatchee.html

All-day parking was $8.

We rode back to the apartment and walked around the lake, seeing a few birds. 

At 7:30, we rode to Vanderbilt Beach on Pelican Bay to watch a fantastic sunset. 

Sunset on Vanderbilt Beach 

Located at 280 Vanderbilt Beach Road, Naples, FL 34102, at the end of Vanderbilt Beach Road, Vanderbilt Beach County Park borders the Gulf of Mexico and is near plenty of hotels, shopping, and restaurants. 

We met Jackie and Geo on the beach, with hundreds of people watching the sun melt into the bay.

What a way to end the day! We had pizza for supper, and Jackie's boyfriend spent the night.

Wednesday, March 27, 2019

Lora and I spent the day at the Naples Botanical Gardens, 4820 Bayshore Dr, Naples, FL 34112, from 1:00 to 4:40 P.M. The cost was $19.99 each.💐 🌷

We browsed in the Chabraja Visitor Center.

Irma's Garden was complete with various garden plants, including screw pines.

Katharine's Garden was a lush tropical landscape.

LaGrippe Orchid Garden was full of colorful, fragrant orchid species worldwide. 

Botanical Garden 

Orchid Garden

Lea Asian Garden had a Southeast Asian Javanese temple, an ancient blaze landscape filled with Bayan trees, a bamboo grove of established fruits, a lotus pool, and a stepping stone path through the Garden that led to the Gardenalinese Shrine.

Kapnick Brazilian Garden was a garden of people from diverse backgrounds and colors, featuring a colorful wall.

Kapnick's Caribbean garden was filled with towering palms, tropical fruits, and vegetables.

Smith Children's Garden was full of vibrant flowers, vegetables, and butterflies—a landscape for children. We saw a bicycle, a hand pump, and a toilet decorated with flowers. We saw Flo and Joe, flower people, working in the vegetable garden. There was also a large turtle made of seashells. 

Scott's Florida Garden was full of trees, palms, a cascading stream, Lake Topkie, and Deep Lake. Florida was once an ancient seafloor.

There was a 90-acre Nature sanctuary boardwalk, which we did not take.

Water Garden with a lily pool full of lily pads and a boardwalk. 

Reflections on Glass: Frabel in the Garden is on exhibit in the gardens. It features diverse and complex sculptures that sometimes mimic the plants within the Garden. You see parallels between Frabel's pieces and the natural shapes of plants in forms and towering cube structures; each piece inspires viewers to discover the wonders of our living collection.

For supper, Lora and I split a chicken and shrimp Carbonara, breadsticks, and salad at Olive Garden, 1565 5th Ave S, Naples, FL 34102. We had leftovers. I used my Christmas gift card to pay $23,37.

That night, Lora and I met several of her friends at the Comedy Club, a two-drink minimum.

I ordered two bottles of water for $2.50 each. I was too full from supper to drink, so I brought my water home. 

The show was bashing ex-spouses, which wasn't particularly funny.

I enjoyed spending time with Lora's friends.

Thursday, March 28, 2019

I ate leftovers from Olive Garden for breakfast and lunch.

We rode to the Naples Preserve Boardwalk, corner of U.S. 41 North and Fleischmann Boulevard, where we walked along the boardwalk looking for box and gopher turtles. We spoke with one of the park rangers who was walking on the bare ground, checking for turtles to ensure they were okay.

Inside the center, we saw signs about the Naples Botanical Gardens, Delnor-Wiggins Pass, Rookery Bay, Collier-Seminole, Shy Wolf (including Cardinal and Mockingbird nests), and a boat-tailed cracker nest. Natural Communities of Naples Preserve, Turtle Shells, What's in bloom, butterflies, bugs, Collier County, and Myrtle Oaks.

Tucan Statue

Penguin 

Seal

Our next stop was the Naples Zoo, located at 1590 Goodlette Rd, Naples, Florida 34102.

" Art to Save the Sea" was displayed throughout the zoo, featuring artwork made entirely from garbage collected from beaches. 

The art we saw featured Natasha the Turtle, Priscilla the Faust Fish, Lidia the Seal, Rufus the Tiger Fish, the American Sea Star, Daisy the Polar Bear, Grace the Humpback Whale, Gertrude the Penguin, and Chompers the Shark.

We stood in a long line to ride a slow-moving, tour-guided ferry around Monkey Island.

Very cool, enjoyable, and informative ride about Madagascar Animals

There were signs under a thatched roof telling about Monkey Island: trees like nowhere else, the island of Lemurs, more significant than any dinosaur egg, and the Madagascar Ferna group helps preserve the wonders of a fragile island nation.

We saw signs about Invisible Geckos, Abundant Chameleons, Madagascar burning, and living wonders. 

We saw American Alligators, Giant Anteaters, Cotton-Top Tamarins, Aldabra Tortoises, Slender-Horned Gazelles, Mt. Bongo, Sulcate Tortoises, Gopher Tortoises, and Clouded Leopards.

We watched the giraffes and alligators being fed. Dr. Henry Nehrling, the founder of the Botanical Garden, Henry Badger, Plains Zebra, Feeding the Alligators, Cheetah, Why the Railroad Trestle? The famous toucan sign, "Dead Trees Help the Living," and "Marvelous Marsh" make for fabulous filters. A swamp mystery, planting helps with trees for the future, shade-grown coffee helps farmers, birds, and the land, and you can find all these birds.

Friday, March 29, 2019 

We stopped at Dollar Tree for sunscreen and snacks to take to the beach at Delnor-Wiggins State Park.

Located at 11135 Gulf Shore Drive, Naples, FL 34108

One of the most popular seaside destinations in Naples, the mile-long stretch of white sugar sand at Delnor-Wiggins has been rated as one of the best beaches in the nation. 

We saw Gray Pelicans perched, swimming, and flying overhead. 

We saw a Fish Hawk Osprey perched in a tree holding a fish.

We saw seagulls and white egrets waiting for a free fish from a fisherman.

This beach was more secluded than the other beaches that we had visited. 

We rode to Naples Municipal Beach and walked out on the long pier to watch the sunset. There were lots of people waiting for the sunset.

 Naples Municipal Beach Sunset

Address 25 12th Av S Naples Florida 34102 

The Naples Pier is a community landmark built in 1888 as a freight and passenger dock.

We rode to historic downtown Naples; Lora and Michelle waited in a long line of people to order our ice cream at Kilwins 743 5th Ave S, Naples, FL 34102.

Saturday, March 30, 2019

Lora had an infusion that morning, so I spent the morning with Jackie and Geo. We visited North Collier Regional Children's Park, located at 15000 Livingston Rd, Naples, FL.

North Collier Regional Children's Park

Geo enjoyed playing at the Can U Dig It state-of-the-art playground, which features a colorful, modern design and resembles something from the future.  

The sleek look packs a lot of play value. The playground includes slides, swings, and climbing apparatus, but it takes play a step further. Kids can spin themselves dizzy on squiggly poles, climb on boulders that look like they came from the Monument Valley, or become junior archeologists in the covered fossil dig area.

When we got ready, Jackie realized she had locked her keys in her car. She called her boyfriend, and he brought her a spare set of keys.

We rode back to the apartment, and by this time, Lora had returned. 

Lora, Michelle, and I rode to Fort Lauderdale for the rest of the day before my flight. 

We stopped at Quarterdeck Restaurant, located at 300 N Beach Rd, Dania Beach, FL, where we had dinner.

Quarterdeck Restaurant

Quarterdeck Restaurant

We ordered three tacos, smoked shrimp, and smoked fish with French fries, and we all drank water with lemon.

We saw British Airways and Southwest jets fly over, so we knew the airport was nearby.

You can see several towering buildings from Dania Pier in the downtown area.

We saw several cruise ships depart, so it's clear that Fort Lauderdale is a hub port for cruise ships.

Many people were sitting on the beach, a few in the water. The beaches were made of seagrass, more turbulent and less precise than the Naples Beaches.

We watched and waited for a lift bridge to let a sailboat through. The traffic was heavy in the downtown area, so I told Lora to take me to the airport so they could do some sightseeing.

I boarded the flight at 9:30, traveling on Flight 4145, Boarding Group B23, for a one-and-a-half-hour flight.

Arrived in Nashville around 11:30 P.M. Hubby picked me up, and we rode home.

We stopped at the gas station, picked up some snacks, and rode home. We arrived home around 1:30 A.M. 

Had a great time visiting my daughter and all the places we went to,
