Continuing East

From Nashville, we were continuing east to meet up with additional friends...

Gracie with the Jee-rage attached, prepared to leave South 40 Farm near Franklin, TN. We knew that the driveway was a bit narrow, and that the road in front could be quite busy with fast-moving traffic, so we were prepared to have to wait a bit for a break in the traffic, but it was surprisingly easy to get out and on our way.

We drove east around Nashville and then southeast toward Chattanooga for our next stop at Harvest Host Silver Springs Vineyard, near Riceville, Tennessee.

We went inside the restaurant to check in and were tempted by the beautifully decorated cakes!

Wowee!

We were directed to park parallel to the county road (up the hill on the left of Gracie) so we moved to this location -- the restaurant is right in front of us.

Friends Wayne and Nancy live near Chattanooga and they drove up to join us for dinner at the Greek restaurant at the vineyard. We enjoyed gyro platters and managed to avoid indulging in the beautiful cakes!

It was nice to visit with our friends and have a nice dinner as well as a safe place for the evening too!
