Maryville, Tennessee

So if you Google "places to retire in Tennesee" you will find the number one recommendtion is Maryville, so we checked it out today.
Nice town, still a little larger than what we think we are looking for but it definitely had some pluses. Major one is that it is only 30 minutes to the Great Smoky Mountains. It has everything you would want, including my number one requirement. We are blessed to have a Garmin and that has helped us to find a lot of things including a church of Christ. So we were pleasantly surprised to find this church looked fairly modern and not that small.
So then we found the 2nd church of Christ which was more like what we expected.
They must be looking for a minister, because one was not listed, just the youth minister. Oh yes, we turned the corner and found out we were mistaken the sign was just in the yard of the house, here is the actual church. Wow! I am pretty sure it was bigger than R.E.


We then headed to the Great Smoky Mountain Scenic drive.

77 degrees, sunroof and windows down, 18 miles along the river. It was beautiful!

Tomorrow it is on to Nashville and the wedding. We got a great deal on the Sheraton Downtown on Priceline....woo hoo!
