This is my cousin, Dana's daughter Dara. She graduated midyear from Cal State University with a Masters in Archeology. She is vsiting Sis & Greg, her aunt & uncle, until May. She will go back to Northern CA to work for the Parks Dept. In Oct., she is leaving to persue a Masters & PhD in underwater archeology at the University of So. Hampton, just south of London on the water. This is the port that the Titanic sailed out of. It was nice to see her as we haven't seen her in a number of years.

My cousin, Sis. We are going out for dinner at Sapphire's in downtown Franklin. It is housed in a renovated mill as are many other businesses. Franklin has several movie studios & many of the actors & actresses dine at this restaurant. Weekends are jammed packed. We were lucky it was a mid-week night

Franklin, TN - day 5

Arriving at my cousin, Sis & Greg's house, just outside of Nashville
