311 Days of Thankfulness


Day 18

I am thankful for Family Fun Days!

Yay for family fun days! We have always done things together as a family... We are rarely apart on the weekends. But like most American families we spend most of those weekends at home catching up on cleaning, doing some type of home improvement project, or just vegging. So on our drive home from Florida I started looking at the towns we drove through in Tennessee and googling what their "claim to fame" was. Etowah was one of those towns and google claimed the number one attraction is the L & N Railroad Museum... It didnt hurt that as we passed through town I saw lots of antique shops that lined a cute little street! So I decided that we should get out explore what is around us... I figure some of these "attractions" will be flops and others will be gems! Etowah to me was a gem! The museum had live bluegrass music (not sure why), old pictures and artifacts and the kids had fun looking at it all! Out front there is a memorial statue to WWI heroes... Very cool! We crossed the main street and strolled the beautiful antique shops! Believe it or not I didnt end up buying a single thing. How'd that happen? Another thing about Etowah, Tennessee... FRIENDLIEST place on earth! The people of Etowah were full of big smiles, lots of hello's and how are you doin's! All in all the day was perfect. The girls had fun, the weather was gorgeous and we made new friends with the people of Etowah!
Here's to Bryant Family Fun Days! With many more to come!
