Day 1-We went to the Tanger Outlets and checked out the Columbia outlet store. Scored some good deals!
Day 2-Spent the day at Dollywood! Love how nice every single employee is there! So many companies could take lessons in customer service from them (& Disney of course). Drove the Cade's Cove Loop. We actually got to pet horses up close. So cool!
Day 3-My childhood friend, who lives in Knoxville now, came down to see me. It was great to catch up with her. Such a true friend! Then we went downtown Gatlinburg and walked the strip and watched taffy being made. The kids loved it!
Day 4-We went to the Donut Friar in the Village (downtown) for breakfast. This is seriously the BEST bakery! Then we went to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokey's. This place is well worth it, as the exhibits are ALL very interesting and engaging for all ages! Then we went down the strip to browse some shops, got a couple souvenirs, and went back to the cabin to relax. After that we drove the arts and crafts loop, which I wasn't that impressed, but it was interesting to see. Then we drove the Roaring Fork Motor Trail and got out at some of the old landmarks. It was raining and Dan got stung by a bee, but we had a nice time. The kids LOVE the mountains and waterfalls!
Tomorrow we are going exploring in the Great Smokey Mountains...to be continued friends!
God Bless!
