It's a (not so good day) for a hike!

After our stop in Granville, we made our way towards Cookville to Burgess Falls State Park.  As we entered the park, I noticed they had a butterfly garden, so I hoped that I could get some good photos.  Needless to say, when we first pulled up, the butterfly garden wasn't very impressive, but I decided to walk around anyway.  Though the garden didn't have much beauty on its own, I certainly made some new friends along the way.















After my exploration in the butterfly garden (and getting eaten alive by mosquitos), I decided that I wanted to walk to the falls. 

It was 3/4 of mile one way, so I figured that was nothing!  I drug my parents with me, because I didn't think it would be safe to go alone.  Well, just a tidbit of advice... A hike in flip flops on a 90 degree day with what felt like 500% humidity isn't a very good idea!  We didn't make it to the "big falls", but I did manage to capture some of the scenary along the way.  Guess I'll be going back to Burgess Falls also!

Granville

Something that is kind of a tradition is for my parents and I to take little day road trips.  Usually its on a Sunday afternoon when there is nothing else to do and we just get in the car and go.  Yesterday we headed towards Burgess Falls in Cookeville, TN. 

We took a small detour and rode out to Granville, TN.  A few weeks ago, I caught an episode of Tennessee Crossroads and they featured Sutton's General Store and I just had to go check it out!  Unfortunately it was Sunday and everything was closed, but I hear there is a festival called Granville Days in the fall!

Here are some shots from Granville....

I love and old Coco-Cola sign!
