Exploring Lawrenceburg (6/28/2014)

This morning, we had another leisurely breakfast and then headed out to do some more exploring. We started off by stopping at a farmers market where we picked up some corn and tomatoes. Then we went over to the library to enjoy some free Wi-Fi. Finally, we drove into the historic part of Lawrenceburg and Barbara got to walk around some antique shops. (And I got to wait while Barbara walked around some antique shops!) While sitting outside one of the shops, I was able to listen to some live music and read some of the plaques. One of them described how this town was the location of the start of Southern Gospel Music. (At least that’s what the plaque said) After spending some time there, we decided to try to find the one Amish farm that had pecan pie for sale. Well, we drove down the road where it was supposed to be, but we never did find it. We did find a house that had some baked goods and bought a friendship bread. After squeezing past another truck on a road meant for just one car, we decided that it was time to head back to the campground. We got back to the campground and relaxed and read for a while. Tomorrow we will head over to Hixson which is a small town above Chattanooga where some friends of ours have settled. The campground ranger said we’d have a hard time getting a site, but usually we have had success on Sundays if we get there early as the weekend people will be heading home by then.
