You Don't Know Jack!

The past few days have held some new experiences, new places, and new memories.

We took a road trip to Alabama...no, not Greenbow Alabama.

We did see the space center and some other cool sights

We also made a visit to the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg TN.

We learned more about TN history and the history of Jack himself.

So, if anyone ever asks, we can say "Yes, we do know Jack! "   ;)

Below is Jack's Slogan...I kinda like it :)

Here we are with a statue of Jack, in front of the underground spring that's used in the whiskey making process.

Before the photo, the tour guide said "when I count to 3, everybody say....WHISKEY".

This is "Jack's" original business center from the late 1800's . What an awesome building to tour.

Everything inside was original. It was like stepping back into time.

Devin and Brooke in the main office of Jack's original business center.

This is an underground spring in the mouth of the cave at the Jack Daniel's Distillery.

It was around 95 degrees outside, but it was about 70 degrees standing right here by the spring.

Here's the family looking down into the stream enjoying that natural air conditioning.

You wouldn't believe how cool the air felt standing by that stream.

Here is the "Rickyard" where the wood for the Jack Daniel's barrels are stored.

The Distillery has their own Fire Brigade, but this isn't it...This is just for looks (and it looked kinda neat).

This is our group heading up to the still (where we got "punched" by the smell of the whiskey)

If you ever visit the distillery, be sure to get close enough to the fermenting vat that the smell "punches" you.

Stroker and I wondered what would happen if we got pulled over on the way home because we all smelled like we had taken in a bath in Jack.  (but at least with didn't brush our teeth with it like Kesha...LOL)

Brookelynn asked once if the guide could finish telling his story outside because the smell was so strong she was starting to taste it. LOL

At the end of the day, we drove back home and talked about all the cool stuff we learned about Jack Daniels himself. Devin even said that he had seen the story on "A Thousand Ways to Die" about the broken big toe.

Family...there is no one better to make memories with.
