Okay, so it's getting a little late in the summer... but there's still some time to head out to the lake.

Our favorite way to pass the time on the water is to rent a pontoon boat!

Hi-Way 50 Drive-In Movie Theater In Lewisburg, Tennessee: A Review

Written by Lynnette on May 20, 2007 | Comments (2)

The Hi-Way 50 Drive-In in Lewisburg, Tennessee is a single screen drive in theater that first opened in 1946.

Jim and I went for the first time last night.

We saw Spiderman 3 and Vacancy.

A double feature for just $6.00 per person... ya gotta love that!

Hi-Way 50 Drive-In
1584 Fayetteville Highway
Lewisburg, TN 37091

If you're from around here, then you may have heard that the Hi-Way 50 Drive-In experienced a fire in the Control Room and the Concession Stand in March of 2007. For awhile, the owners, Gary & June Douglas, were unsure as to whether they would be able to show movies at the Hiway 50 Drive In anymore. Fortunately, thanks to donations and their ability to repair or replace much of their equipment, they were able to reopen in a matter of weeks.

Looking For Ghosts & Haunted Places In Tennessee?

If you're in the Franklin/Nashville area, I'd encourage you to take one of these walking tours. Some are conducted year-round. Others take place only around the Halloween season.

...See how scared you get as part of a small group of people walking the streets at night while hearing about dozens of "well-documented" stories about local ghosts & hauntings!

Fun Things To Do In Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Written by Lynnette on July 24, 2006 | Comments (1)

We love exploring all there is to see & do in the Gatlinburg area.

Actually, I'm referring to those areas surrounding Gatlinburg more than the actual town of Gatlinburg itself.

Why? Because the town itself is so touristy -- with all the souvenir shops and fun things to do downtown -- that it gets pretty hectic and congested.

That's why we typically hang out somewhere between Townsend (to the west), Cosby (to the east) and Bryson City (to the south).

Fainting Goats At The Lewisburg Fainting Goat Festival

Written by Lynnette on September 24, 2005 | Comments (3)

We went to the Fainting Goat Festival in Lewisburg, Tennessee a couple years ago. Surprisingly, we didn't see many goats actually fainting there though.

The reason?...

It was set up more like a petting zoo, and there were signs posted everywhere like: "Shhh...do not startle the goats!"

With the 3nd Annual Fainting Goat Festival approaching (October 7th & 8th), I took some time to learn more about the unique qualities of Fainting Goats.
