KNOXVILLE TENNESSEE






We didn't have much time in Knoxville...less that 24 hours. Its a shame, since I did so much research on it. The drive through Tennesee was beautiful. Lucas liked the beauty of the Chatanooga River. This city was just picked on AOL's best one day getaways. Too bad Lucas and I weren't able to do all this city has to offer.See the article by clicking on the title.

Knoxville rests on the banks of the Tennessee River and in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. This city is in a temperate climate zone, so you can really take advantage of the water and the mountains. Winters are brief, and spring arrives early with dogwoods, azaleas and beautiful flowers. Hiking and Fishing here are a big attraction.

We ate dinner at Applebee's since we didn't have internet access to check the NY times suggestion... I had the grilled salmon with almond rice and steamed veggies and Lucas had the Tilipia with black beans and rice. I have to admit, it was really tasty. I was the only Asian girl in the whole restaurant. Lucas sort of blended in with everyone but his skater style and his accent sort of gave it away that we were not locals.
