Spring Break, Day 3 - Pigeon Forge

The mountains of East Tennessee are like home to me.  I have never lived here, but over the years we have visitedany times.

It was a cool morning, and we fixed breakfast at the cabin and set on the porch with it's mountain views.  We took Fergus for a brief walk as well, as the sun warmed the air and lit the snow on the peaks.

Then to Pigeon Forge.  The traffic was heavy since the tunnel on the highway was down to one lane for repairs.  Google found us another way to avoid most of the backup.

Lunch was at the Old Mill, and it was awesome as always!  Our waitress was from the Czech Republic, and her name was Jitka.  She was also awesome and very kind!  I told her I came all the way from Texas for their fried pork chops.

A bit more shopping (a game store, Sketchers, and the Apple Barn). We got our favorite coffee (apple pie) and several bottles of hard cider.  Then our parking tag for a week in the national park, then home.

The beauty of renting a cabin is that it is a comfortable place to rest.

Jamaica Beach, Day 4

Today started slow, as vacation days should.  No real plans other than a bit of shopping and a nap. Quick breakfast and then helped Brandon....
