I have been told that Pigeon Forge, Tennessee is in some ways similar to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, only it is not quite as elegant, it does not have as many golf courses, and it does not have a beach.  Nevertheless, we are going there this weekend to spend some time with three other homeschool families.  It is about a six hour drive from here.  Actually, all we are planning to do while we are there is hang out with some great people, play board games, hike a little, talk, eat, and generally just have a good time.  We will take the camera and, if we have internet access, put up a few pictures while we are there.
