BRISTOL, TN-VA

Hello Vacation Thrill Seekers,

My first visit to Bristol was in 2018 to shoot the video you see here. My brother in law's parents live in this charming community and so I decided to show it off a bit. Wow, did I have fun making this short video. The downtown is cool (and the TN-VA state line runs right down the middle of the street! I ate, drove a race car, hit the great outdoors and so much more. Explore for yourself and see what I mean!
