Our Trip To Doolywood: Part 1

Thursday, September 29th, we packed up the van and camper then headed to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. We left the house around 8:45 am and got up there around lunchtime. We grabbed a quick bite to eat at Burger King before heading to the campground we were camping at. 

Upon arriving at Clabough's Campground, DH stared setting up the camper and screened porch. Once the camper was up; I started making up beds, putting away our clothes, and organizing the snack food. When everything was ready, DH and I went to Walmart to buy a mirror (I had forgotten mine) and batteries for the camera. We drove around a little looking for the turn off to Dollywood and a steak house we were wanting to try. We also went looking for one of the free fall roller coasters to see how much it would cost to ride. 

We headed back to the camper and picked up DD, then we headed back to the roller coaster - The Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster. DH and DD rode it one time ( I opted out), then DH rode it again. Both of them enjoyed and DH would have rode it a 3rd time, but it was time for some supper.

going as fast as it would let him go.

Having decided we wanted pizza for supper, we headed to a pizza place we had never eaten at before - Mellow Mushroom. We ordered a medium size pizza - half cheese and half with sausage and mushrooms. The pizza only had 6 slices, but it more than enough and was very delicious. I also ordered a small salad and when it came it was way bigger than a small salad. It was good, too.

  

As we drove back to the campground, we couldn't help admiring all of the fall decorations that were up all over town. Most of the buildings were decked out and there were decorations on almost every corner. It gave me a lot of ideas to take home and try out. 

Back at the camper, we settled down for some tv watching. It wasn't long before we called it a night so we could get plenty of rest before our day a Dollywood.
