Google Maps says it’s a six and one-half hour drive from Nashville to Charlotte but we do it in about eight hours with stops for a large breakfast and pit stops along the way. After Knoxville I40 takes us through the Great Smokey Mountains for a while. Beautiful.
We spend a relaxed long weekend with our family located in and near The Queen City. Lots of talking, eating, and drinking. We have most meals with our son and daughter-in-law, Paul and Kara, and on Saturday evening are joined by our niece Ashley and her husband Chris for drinks then have dinner at King’s Kitchen. Kings Kitchen is a non-profit which employs former inmates and whose profits benefit the homeless. The southern-style food is very good and we have a wonderful time.

On Saturday we assess Paul’s in-city farming: the gardens and chickens in their yard. On Sunday the chicken named McNugget has a medical issue. Paul and Kara wash her in the wheelbarrow in their front yard before meeting us for lunch. As Kara explains to us “Yes, we are THOSE neighbors”. Lol. Sunday afternoon we stop by the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art for a Jazz concert and to see some of the works.
Sunday night comes too soon, and after dinner we bid Paul and Kara adieu with hugs.
