Leaving the beach

We got up at 7 to shower, pack, and eat breakfast. Chris vacuumed our room while I packed the cooler from the fridge. I think we left about 8:30. Saying goodbye was hard. But once we were on the road, we put on the book on CD. This one is a Ken Follett book called World without End – or something like that. It was very interesting and took my mind off of how long the trip was. We stopped halfway at Cracker Barrel for lunch. At 6:30 we arrived in Knoxville at our hotel. After unpacking we drove around looking for a restaurant. We stopped at a Batteries Plus for a spare camera battery. From there we could see a Japanese place with half-priced sushi. Just after we placed our order, Chris mentioned the Thai place he could see out the window. Really? Now he mentions it? But the food here was good, so good that I ate the sushi without the wasabe. Chris' attention was on the TV behind my head. It was playing one of the Mission Impossible movies. After we ate, we drove by the thai place. It was very nice-looking. When we got back to the hotel he checked out their Sunday hours and they open at noon. Our check-out is noon so he suggested that we check out at noon, have lunch there, and then get on the road. We watched Big Bang Theory episodes on TV until they ran out. Then, being tired, we just went to bed.
