I only got a few weeks of rest before we were off again. C was feeling guilty about not visiting her mom over the summer, so off we went. Two weeks in Burlington, Iowa, with J’s family, then two weeks in Columbus, Nebraska. A weekend in Kansas City area, some time in the Ozarks/Branson, a nice soak at Hot Springs, Arkansas then a stop in Nashville. Scroll down for C’s highlight of the trip … fall colors between Chattanooga, Tennessee, then Asheville, North Carolina, and on up the Blue Ridge Parkway as far as we could to Roanoke, Virginia.
