Tennessee Trip [Post 1]

Mom and me

 

Mom’s birthday was on Sunday and I surprised her at dinner that Saturday night.  She had no idea I was coming and was shocked.  I was so excited to be able to surprise her like that.

Fall weather is out and about in Tennessee.  It hasn’t reached Texas yet but I got to enjoy some fall while I was in Tennessee.

PumpkinFest was Saturday in Franklin and I was so excited to get to go.  Mom and I went and walked around.  I was able to get some kettle corn (I love kettle corn!) and an amazing crepe from a food truck.  You have to get to PumpkinFest really early because it gets c.r.a.z.y crowded.

Everyone gets their picture taken in front of this pumpkin statue thing.  Or at least it seems like it :)

After PumpkinFest I headed to Nashville to see my sister finish her last leg of the Ragnar.  It is a multi-person relay that starts in Chattanooga and finishes in Nashville.  You have teams of 12 (or Ultra teams of 6) and each person runs 3 legs (or 6 if an ultra).  They start Friday morning and finish Saturday evening and Kendra ran 21.5 miles total.  One of her legs was at some crazy hour of 3 or 4 in the morning!

We took finishing photos with her.  You can’t see from the photo but I am making sure my arm is not touching her in the back, haha.  It was unseasonable warm!

Mom came too and we got a group photo.  I am pretty proud of her!
