Here we are again, putting a few hundred more miles on the van. This time we met Grandma and Grandpa G. in Pigeon Forge TN for a short weekend visit. If you've never been, it's worth it to go at least once. There are lots of attractions in a beautiful mountain setting.
One main attraction is Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede. This dinner show includes cowboys, horses, ice skating, singing, pig and ostrich racing all in a giant dirt arena. You're served a dinner of a whole cornish hen and vegetable soup, however silverware is not allowed! The whole experience was amazing. Both kids loved it. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen Megan clap so much.
The South side won (of course), but it was fun sitting on the North because for the Christmas show, we were on the "North Pole" side of the house. In fact, we were in the front row! The only down-side to that was that when the horses ran by, some dirt was kicked out of the arena and landed on Grandma G's plate!! (ha ha ha ha) Sorry, Mom! That'll always be funny. Our waiter was very responsive and offered a brand new plate.
