I wanted to do a full Tennessee visit review, but the weather was really bad except the day we went to Knoxville! So, here are some shots of our time there.
We had a great time walking around and exploring shops although it was FREEZING. And, bonus (!) Catherine and Vince live there so we met up for some dinner at a really neat place!
It was a cloudy, cold day…
Finally a picture of us by a stranger that is IN FOCUS! 
{Side note: Do you guys think my hair is turning brown??!!}
The way I get Jared to laugh? I yell, “LAUGH AT ME!” until he feels so awkward that he chuckles…
I loved all the holiday decorations!
We headed to Cafe 4 where we met Cato and Vince a little early to warm up and rest from walking all day. The upstairs was so cozy.
Our delicious dinner! Jared had Bacon Cheeseburger Mac and Cheese and I had Shrimp and Grits with Andouille Sausage. SO YUMMY.
So that was our day in Knoxville. We really had a good time and would love to go back! We’d definitely recommend Cafe 4 if you’re visiting, as well as Tupelo where we had a little snack mid-day!

Ah so fun! I just love walking around cities with their Christmas decorations. And Jared’s beard is coming in quite nicely.
ahhhhh!! Love Knoxville so much! One of my favorite towns I think
glad y’all enjoyed it! Does the market square area remind you of the downtown mall in Charlottesville?!
Knoxville is such a neat city. And since we are only 65 miles northeast we get to go occasionally. And it was cold that week!
