Sunday Update - Fried Ice Cream

Today we had fried ice cream. Need I say more?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, okay. Today we headed out to Chattanooga (or so I thought). While I was resting peacefully in the back of the rental, Terry and Mom took us to Lynchberg - home of the Jack Daniel's Distillery. We went on a tour and were able to sniff all of the whiskey smell that our hearts desired. Here are a few interesting things about the distillery.

1. There are only four ingredients: corn (80%), rye (12%), barley (8%), and then some spring water.
2. The spring water is from right there. It's special because it has no iron in it.
3. The whiskey barrels are used only one time. After that they are sold to scotch whiskey companies, wineries, and the Tabasco company.
4. Locals take some JDs and mix it with peppermint hard candies. They say that it makes a great cough syrup.
5. Lynchberg is a dry town. They can only make the whiskey there, but they can't sell it.
   

After our whiskey lessons, we were back on the road. (Sober, don't worry. Only Terr was drunk. JUST KIDDING!) After some fine navigation from Miss Theresa, we were in Chattanooga.

It's late right now, so I won't go into much more detail. It was a low-key day, and it ended with fried ice cream and a dip in the hotel pool.

Extra! Extra!

1. Terr is feeding local Chattanooga stray cats.
2. Ask Mom or Terr about Tom Toe.
