Day 5: Shopping day. We found an awesome thrift store outside of the main drag. We had Bojangles for lunch.
Day 6: Family day in Knoxville, Tn. My mother in law’s cousins put out a spread for us and welcomed us with open arms. Down home cooking, down home hospitality.
Day 7: Two of our party left us today to head back early. My oldest and my mother in law. My husband and I took the two little ones for mountain coasters, shopping, go-carts…oh and one more mountain coaster ride! Mountain coasters take you up the side of a mountain and when you get to the top you get total control of your speed all the way down using. gravity. It is such a smooth quiet ride. If you come down here, ride the Rocky Top Mountain Coaster. It’s brand new and is ten minutes in length which is longer than the others. Well worth your money.

Quick stop to the candy store. Yearly tradition.

Awesome! Our kids would love that! 🙂 God bless you all!

If I told you it’s 18$ a person to ride and our wallet is flatter because of it….would that help?

Does the candy store have moonshine salt water taffy? That might explain having to go back every year. Just kidding, but my wife loves it.

You’re headed home tomorrow?

Just the museum. The ark wasn’t built yet. I guess you could say we went before the flood!

Looks like someone enjoyed the candy store, and so sad to see a butterfly lose it’s wing.

Yeah, I’ve had two cars with no AC before I got married…one was a beetle though. It’s not fun at all. I am so glad y’all had fun. That’s what matters! And of course the wonderful memories 🙂
