A long post to catch up

For those that have been asking, yes we are ok. I guess I caught whatever Jay had that prevented him from posting.

After leaving Petoskey on September 21st, we went to Stanton KY for a couple of weeks. We were there when Hurricane Helene hit the Carolinas. We were fine where we were but a few of the things we wanted to do got canceled. After about 7 straight days of rain, the rivers were quite swollen so we decided not to kayak the caves like we’d planned. But we did go on a nice drive on one clear afternoon. Toward the end of the loop we went through a tunnel that was only one car wide. A true test to Jays driving skills.

We left KY in early October and headed to Nashville TN. We were there about 12 hours before I had to fly out for a conference in San Diego. I had lots of fun meeting my coworkers in person for the first time.

After getting back to Nashville, we had a great visit from Will and Anissa Ryan, our neighbors from Skyline Terrace in Seymour. We had lots of fun hitting the restaurants and bars in Nashville with them. We tried a Korean Steakhouse. The food was mehhh. And you had to cook it yourself. I guess it was an experience.Anissa and I also went to the Opryland Hotel to see the Christmas decorations. They weren’t all up yet but what was there was beautiful.

And we introduced them to Top Golf. They were reluctant but were surprised by how much they enjoyed it.

Camryn isn’t traveling with us but she is an Avery so I’ll share that she and Conor are currently traveling too. They went to Scotland for a friends wedding. And are headed to Ireland tomorrow. So excited for them.
