Wow, what a weekend! It all began when Bonnie was able to get off work early so that we could start our mini-vacation. We drove to Knoxville on Friday afternoon and spent the night. We had attempted to do well at planning ahead by looking for the best hotel at the best price online in order to save some $$$. Well, we decided to stay in an area that is minutes from downtown Knoxville which has lots of hotels and restaurants. So, we booked our one night stay at the “Best” Western. We got to the hotel and everything looked OK, so we left to go eat dinner. We had a great meal at Outback and then back to the hotel to veg out and watch the Olympics. The bed in the hotel room was not great, but it seemed to be doable. Around midnight Chris was in so much pain due to the hardness of the so called mattress that we began to consider leaving the hotel. The front desk person allowed us to try the “best” suite before leaving, which was just as bad as our regular room. So, at about 1am we left the hotel and went down the street to a better hotel and checked in to much better sleeping conditions. We didn’t get to sleep until about 3am! Yikes, it was a long night.
We had driven to Knoxville because we were on our way to Bonnie’s family reunion. We were about an hour late for the reunion due to needing to sleep in, but nonetheless it was a great time for Chris to meet his new family. We didn’t get back until 8pm on Saturday night and were completely exhausted due to the hotel hopping done the previous night. Our lesson learned is that we probably need to spend a little more on the hotel in order to get an acceptable mattress to sleep on.
Sorry no pics, I will do better next time!
