We rented a great log home on Norris Lake, which was only 8 miles from Nicki’s place, but a good 25 minute drive, given the crazy mountain roads that guaranteed motion sickness for all passengers.  The roads made for fun motorcycling, though.  Following the ceremony, we gathered at Nicki and Nate’s place for a barbecue and some beverages.

Congratulations, Nicki and Nate, on getting your white coats!

We were treated to a tour of the anatomy lab at Lincoln Memorial University, where the cadaver dissections take place.  The “no photography” rules were strictly enforced, but we  were allowed to take pictures in the model room, where plastic models of body parts are stored.  No cadavers were allowed to be viewed out of respect for the donors.

We hiked a trail at the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park and stopped by the Cumberland Falls for a color tour.  The falls and Cumberland River are so pretty, and Enzo enjoys running around the shoreline and exploring.  After visiting the falls, we headed south to Knoxville for some shopping and people watching.

We miss you already, Nicki!
