Checking in from Elizabethton, TN.

No wifi at my sister's house, so just checking what's going in here from the McDonald's in Elizabethton, Tennessee.

Elizabethton is basically the same town as Johnson City, TN, which is the birthplace of bluegrass music, so we're deep into eastern Tennessee's southern culture, and it's beautiful.

The beautiful @mslight2016st is here by my side enjoying a McDonald's hash brown.

We stopped by a Korean restaurant today for lunch, to see what that was all about. The food was definitely "Americanized" (sweeter, saltier, bigger than genuine Korean cuisine) but was still satisfying, all things considered.

After the American/Korean experience, we walked down the street to a local coffee shop which is famous in the area, and which makes their own coffee. That was not a disappointment at all! Good coffee, super-friendly staff, and that country, historic, All-American feel.

I love that area of Tennessee, actually I think that I have driven through Elizabethton once. Looks like a great place to visit!

I was born in Pikeville KY, so love all of the mountains and peacefulness there.

Wait..is @mslight2016st Mrs @kafkanarchy84? I'm so confused lol. Have a great visit!

Thanks, @jbcoin.

That's correct! Me and @mslight2016st are hitched!

Yeah, this area of TN is really nice. Didn't know you were a Kentucky boy!

I'll be sure to follow her also! You have a beautiful family, and it's nice to finally meet them all! The first pic of everyone in front of the "Made in Tennessee" sign is great!

I've spent most of my life in central Ohio, but love to visit relatives in eastern Kentucky, when I can. We've also done a little camping through the Smokey Mountains. That was a great time!

Thanks so much, @jbcoin. Smokey Mountain camping amping sounds like a blast!

You're the best @kafkanarchy84! Thanks for all of your support in my posts!

Nice family having fun together. How in the world are you surviving without wifi? Lol

I'm not! HAHA. At McDonald's every day!

I think you enjoyed many fun.
Life is too small. So enjoy it as long as possible.

Make a nice New Year's Celebration in your life. Forgetting all sorrow, welcome to the new year.

Thank you, @nxtfuture. You too.

Very happy if there is a chance to drink coffee with family. Thanks for sharing @kafkanarchy84.

Bet you can find some good whiskey or moonshine distilleries around that area that offer free samples!

I know! My family doesn't drink though, so I'm not sure my suggestion to visit would be enthusiastically received. ARGGHH!

It shows you really had a nice time...i love this expression

Just remember if you start to hear some banjos in the distance you might want to turn and walk the other way. Don't forget to pick up some good ole mountain dew while you're there to shove it to uncle Sam.

Haha. I'll watch out. Not lookin' to get into any Deliverance type shit!!! :)

Surely now you have a good idea about the Koreans, I know as much as the Koreans are friendly and that the coffee that you went to, they themselves will produce coffee and confirm that the quality of their copy will be much better.

You are so sweet :))

nice post

thanks for share your experience.

Great photography,,,,

Outstanding perfomance .
Thank's for sharing
