Cat and Cam headed out to Nashville, Tennessee for the Copeland Family Reunion 2008! We had a great time hanging out with 2nd cousins, 3rd cousins, drinking whiskey, eating fried chicken and biscuits, and generally reliving Cat's distant Southern roots (seriously- she came home with a slight drawl). On day 2, the out of town crew drove to Lynchburg where Jack Daniels was born. The picture above is of Cat out front the JD Visitors Center. Would you believe that Lynchburg is a dry town? Isn't that weird?
Here's Cat's dad, Cat and Cam on the rocking chairs just taking it easy Southern-style. Rocking chairs were invented by southern farmers who would be done with work at 1:00pm and spend the rest of the day playing checkers and drinking whiskey. Sounds like the life for us!
The Jack Daniels Tour was great. Here's Cat and Cam with a life size statue of Mr. Jack himself. You might notice that Jack was pretty short, like 5'1" short. Thankfully he took his shortman's disease out on making delicious whiskey.
Cat's cousin Kelly, her husband Ken with their son Finn made the trip as well. Finn was sporting the Phillies hat just before the world series- what an intuitive little guy! The Deitch-Copelands live in Philly so it was great to see them and meet the newest Copeland. Yes, you read that correctly- he is a Copeland! Just when we thought Cat had killed the family name. Can you believe that Finn was only 5 months old in this picture? What a little man!
This picture was taken outside of Mary Bobo's Boarding House in Downtown Lynchburg. The family style meal of fried chicken, fried okra, cobbler, slow cooked apples with Jack Daniels, mashed potatoes, green beans and about 30 other things filled our crew up. Cat is sitting in between her mom Nancy and her cousin Kelly. Cam is in between father-in-law Jim and Jim's brother Dick.All in all it was a great weekend and Cameron definitely enjoyed the relaxed Southern lifestyle. Anybody want to move to Tennessee with us?
