James and I had one last "hurrah!" before school starts back up. We left early Thursday morning to meet up with his family in Wears Valley, TN (the same place as our honeymoon) and spent the weekend with them. For a first vacation with the in-laws, I'd say it was a success. We had a nice time eating at the "Birth place of Kentucky Fried Chicken," hiking in the Smoky Mountains (though beautiful, it is the national park with the worst air quality - mainly due to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville's traffic), caving at Tuckaleechee Cavern, a little shopping at a huge outlet mall, and grocery shopping at
Jungle Jim's. Here are a couple pictures from our weekend trip.

Sunday's Dinner
Sourdough from Jungle Jim's, the first tomato from my garden,
and a tasty fruit (at the bottom).
Can anybody guess what fruit it is?
I'll even give you a second view.

oooh! ooh! (raising hand and waving energetically, unlike my actual behavior in school, where i try to avoid talking) .. dragonfruit?
what does it taste like? we had peaches & blueberries for dinner - they taste like summer. :)
I never see anything quite like that fruit at the Red Barn, my favorite place for fresh fruit and veggies.

I haven't the foggiest idea what fruit that is. Jungle Jim's sounds like an interesting place to visit. Glad you had a great trip!
See you soon. Love, MomK
The winner is Jenn! I'd heard about the dragon fruit on NPR and figured that I'd have to try it if I ever came across one. I'm not quite sure of the response James gave it, but I found it enjoyable. It has the consistency of a kiwi and a sweet crisp flavor. Some say that it tastes faintly of mellon or kiwi, but I couldn't tell you that for sure. I would recommend trying it sometime though.
