It’s been a full day. Left at 3am to SFO. Brief layover in Denver, then landed in Nashville and took a long drive to Cleveland, TN. Drove through Georgia on the way. 😊. Ate lunch/dinner at a cute little place in Manchester, TN. Made it to early registration check in just in time. Now tomorrow will be easier. The girls will each sit in on a class starting at 9:00am. It’s 3 hours ahead here so I think I’ll go to bed early.

We had lunch at the Mercantile Cafe in Manchester, TN. It was a quaint little place with a bakery, gift shop, and food of the day. We had roast with brown gravy or chicken and dumplings, creamed corn, mashed potatoes, fried okra, green beans, roll or cornbread, and tea/sweet tea/lemonade. We opted not to get the collared greens and lima beans.

Entering Georgia, then back to Tennessee.

A rest area.

Early Check in at Lee University
