I LOVE The Smokey Mountains!

Well, it’s been a while. I’m so behind on bloggin! I am working many hours trying to get my business off the ground not to mention all the other stuff we have going on.

I last left off when we were traveling to TN and then on to GA. I guess I’ll pick up from there and will try not to ramble on and just get caught up. Molly went with us and she is such a great traveler. We got to the cabin which was up on a mountain and it was just beautiful. There was porch on the front and back what went the length of the cabin; the front had a swing and the back had rocking chairs and a hot tub. We unloaded the Mountaineer and went to the back deck to try out the rocking chairs. SO relaxing!

Many years ago me and a group of girls went to the Smokey Mtn. Jubilee to see a show that is singing, dancing and comedy skits. So, I suggested we go there and we called days in advance to get tickets and just so happen someone had just cancelled for the front row center so he gave us those. When we got to the ticket counter to get and pay for the tickets but the lady didn’t have tickets held for us. I told her the day I called and the row and number of our seats. She checked again and again found no tickets for us and someone else had purchased those seats. You could tell she felt horrible about the mix up. She asked if we wanted two tickets on the 4th row and we said that was fine. She gave them to us FREE. We were cool with that! Well, we get inside and we were absolutely positively the youngest two people in the place. There were several senior tour groups and we were out numbered. It was SO FUNNY! We laughed and giggled about that all night. Get this; the seats we were to originally have were empty the entire show and we still got our tickets free! The show was great and just good clean fun.

After the show we went back to the cabin. When we got back what did we hear….the hot tub. It was calling us…and we answered! That was SO awesome to be on the side of a mountain, the air was crisp and cool and we were warm in the hot tub. After that we sat in the rockers listening to all the critters talking in the woods and shared some wine that we picked up at a winery earlier that day. It was a wonder ending to a wonderful day!

Tuesday we slept in a little and enjoyed the morning in the cabin. We had coffee and sat in the swing then we went to the rocking chairs. It was peaceful and quiet which is something we have not had near enough of lately

We had tickets for the Dixie Stampede on Tuesday. That was a lot of fun. Prior to the show there is a pre-show with singing…OMG it was wonderful. There were 3 guys and a girl and they were a talented bunch! We purchased their CD which is great. Then we went into the main arena and we had excellent seats. I had been many many many moons ago and remembered what it looked like but that was about it. Once seated we got to talking with folks to our right and left. The show started and not too long after then began to bring out the food. WOW it’s a lot of food and this list is Per Person; roll, soup, whole roasted hen, a slice of pork tenderloin, ½ of a twice baked potato, corn on the cob and an apple fritter. Can you believe that? The kicker is there is nothing to eat with except the utensils God gave you…your fingers. At the end they bring out warm towels to clean yourself up and believe me, you need it. Just watching them bring the food out is entertaining. The show was fabulous and we enjoyed it very much.

I will leave off here and pick up on Wednesday in the next blog…Until then here is a nice picture of us in the inside jet tub.....

Hahaha...bet you thought it was a XXX rated picture!
