Knoxville, TN pretty much started out as rough as it gets. After Frederick, Maryland, we booked it down to Tennessee for warmer weather and did a night in the car outside the city to get a good rest in. At least that's what we hoped for... it was BRUTAL Y'ALL!!! I think we collectively had 1 maybe 2 hours of sleep. REM was not even a thought in that car. The sun coming up felt like pure torture. It was FREEZING in the car, even with temps outside being about ~20 degrees. It was so bad it was laughable, but we kept on going (maybe a bit in spite).
Our Knoxville SUVlife morning was, um, not the best. But the day really improved after we had something to eat and lots of time to explore a new city in Tennessee. It definitely surprised me how much fun we ended up having walking around and sightseeing (for free). Knoxville has made it on the list for future visiting/living (but not yet forgiven for that first night).
