Saturday, Oct. 1st, we got up a little early so we could be at the Old Mill Restaurant when it opened at 8:00 am. The Old Mill Restaurant was once a grist mill that was a hub of activity in the Pigeon Forge Community in the 1880's. (If you want to learn more about its history go to the following link: Old Mill History.)When we arrived, we were seated right away and at a table with a view of the river.
It wasn't long before a basket of banana nut muffins were on our table and our drinks were being served. After looking at the menu for a few minutes, we were placing our orders. DH ordered the Old Mill Country Breakfast with sausage. DD ordered the Old Mill Biscuit Breakfast with ham. I ordered the Old Mill Country Breakfast with ham. It was all delicious and we stuffed ourselves.

After we paid, we walked next door to the Old Mill Store to look around. When we left the store, we walked on down to the bridge to take pictures of the river and the water wheel. We enjoyed our meal and visit to the Old Mill.
(If you are planning a trip to the Pigeon Forge area, I would recommend planning a visit to the Old Mill Restaurant. The food is great and the service was excellent. It is one of those must sees.)
Soon after, we headed back to the campground to start packing up. We go left around 9:30 am. The ride back was just as beautiful as the ride up. We arrived home around 1:30 pm (or there abouts.) We started unpacking the van and the camper.
It was a whirlwind of a weekend, but one we will always remember!
Simply enjoying the simple life God blessed me with!
