Grandpa may be familiar with the Isaacs from LaFollette. There are known for their country style Gospel singing and recently won several Gospel Awards. Rebecca Isaac Bowman and her husband, John Bowman, still reside in LaFollette.

Twin arches at Big South Fork, Oneida,Tn. (just minutes away) is a wonder to see. The children would love hiking. Grandpa and Grandma would love the beauty and grace of nature at its best.

There are lots of fishing and boating resorts for adventurous families in Lafollette, Tn. Children can fish, swim, paddle boat, and enjoy burgers, fries, and some evening entertainment after a long day.

The Louie Bluie Music and Arts Festival comes to Cove Lake State Park every year in June. Grandpa, Grandma, and the three grandchildren will love joining in the entertainment! http://smokiesvisitorsmap.com/bear_jamboree.h

The Bijou, located in Knoxville, a short drive from my hometown, but a must see for stage and performance lovers. The grandchildren would love to try out the summer camp. It is the oldest theater in Tennessee, since 1909. Grandpa would love to see it has stood the test of time.

Not too far is the Tennessee Theater. It was built in 1928 and is still operating today. It is a historic treasure that this family can appreciate. If they visit at just the right time they are sure to catch a great show.

Pizza for the kids! Hometown cooking-Great stop for Grandma and Grandpa. I’m sure they would let Grandpa do a song and dance act for them.

Mexican at ElPueblitos, another favorite pick of Lafollette.
