Labor Day Weekend!

After a long week at work, we were ready for a three day weekend! We went to Knoxville, TN to visit Andrew and his family. On Saturday, we spent some time with Andrew's new school friends and hung out on the lake. Everyone (except Ashley, Andrew's sister and her friend) jumped off this HUGE cliff into the water. Yikes! Jay went three times. We even went tubing and saw fireworks from the boat too. After Andrew's friends left, the three of us went out to see what knoxville had to offer. We found a fun bar/restaurant with a Talking Heads cover band!
On Sunday, we went to Andrew's church with him and his mom. And then we had a very southern meal at a restaurant called Lisa's Kitchen. After lunch we went to visit Andrew's brother, Matthew who owns his our hatchery business where he sells clownfish amoung other aquarium life. It was amazing to see all the progress he has made and how much the business has grown in the past year since we last visited.
That night we went to Boom's Day to celebrate Labor Day. There were so many people there- the newspaper estimated that there were 400,000 people. We saw wakeboarding in the street and the best fireworks we have ever seen! On Monday, we slept in and went out to lunch with Andrew. Then we headed back for Atlanta!
