Taking advantage of the final day of the rental car, we drove into Florence and toured the Rosenbaum House which was designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1939-40. This house, constructed of cypress, glass and brick, with flat roofs, over-hanging eaves, expanses of glass and flowing spaces is one of Wright’s Usonian design. 
As expected, all spaces had clean, linear lines, clearstory windows, built in storage and furniture and, finally, glass doors and glass mitered corners on the side of the house facing the Tennessee River. It truly was an amazing structure that brought the outside in and complimented it’s natural surroundings.
A laundromat and grocery store were must stops before we returned to the boat. We borrowed the marina courtesy car, returned the rental car then had dinner downtown before returning to our boat home.
Tomorrow the trip count officially begins again with renewed vigor after our visit with family, friends and especially those great little people who know us as Poppy and Nunna.
