We left Friday July 2 after work and arrived at The Bennett's lake house about 11pm that night. There house is right on Norris Lake, well you have to journey down a few stairs to get to their boat dock. We got the car unloaded and got the tour of their house and headed to bed. When my hubby and I woke up the next day, we peeked through the blinds...oh what a view. We grabbed coffee and headed outside to take in the view from the deck. We loved it there. We spent everyday on the water boating, swimming, tubing....and consuming a few cocktails. We had a wonderful time with the Bennett family and felt so blessed to be able to vacation with them. We had great meals together, played games with the kids, and I even tried knee boarding for the first time. I surprised myself that I got up and stayed on, I only stopped because my ankles just couldn't take it anymore...definitely not a young kid anymore. We watched Fire on the Water, Norris Lake's fireworks. Best fireworks I have seen so far, they were incredible. Thank you Bennett family! Here are just a few pictures, hopefully I will follow up at a later date with some more photos!
We stayed at Norris Lake until Tuesday evening and then we headed to Pigeon Forge for one night before heading back to Ohio. On our way out of Pigeon Forge, my hubby requested we make one stop at a guitar store that he has always wanted to visit. So we did, and let me tell you he looked like a kid at a candy store. It was quite impressive, and my step daughter snapped this picture of him out front.
