mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 This was such a fun trip, we had some really good belly laughs. Enjoyed the company, and the moonshine, I have to say I was a little tippsy after tasting some of it. Guess Rich was also, since he fell off his scoter that day. I wasn't there but he gave a few a scare.We are home and it was a hard day at work, I want to go back nowwwwwwwwwwI want to go back tooooo!!!! Yes, Lorna is right, Rich was on his scooter and turned on a curb/ramp just the wrong way, and tippppp over he went. Fortunately, he wasn't hurt, and we got him up quickly. More his pride than anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Today was the day we went over to Dollywood. We were your typical tourists that don't research!! We looked up park hours, the price to get in, and the directions, that was about it. We arrived at NOON!! The first thing some of us did was see the Willis Clan. Good thing, cause that was their last show of the day. We then started wandering Look what I found!! photo limit, more updates soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Tim and I rode the above coaster. I did buy the pic. Once I get it scanned in, I will post it in a later update. We did NOT do this, but I actually would have enjoyed it, but $$$$$$ Here is another coaster Tim and I tried There we are, 4th car from the back We are just chillin out now Yes, that is a real pig on a barbecue spit Thus ends our Dollywood adventure. There were a couple of things I would have liked to see, like the Dollywood museum, but they required the scooters to be parked and transfer to a manual chair and be pushed. Lorna and I were not going to push Rick and Richie around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 The Eagle coaster looks pretty sweet. Is it a "flying" coaster?Pig roast? Nice.I have been to Dollywood but I think that was like 25 years or so ago.Probably a lot has changed since then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Another Dollywood picture: They had a Bald Eagle sanctuary for birds that could not be released from the wild. After we left Dollywood, we found a place for dinner The only pood forn from the trip We chilled out at TJs site for a bit On Wednesday we packed up and arranged for a late checkout and chilled out at the campground with everyone. During that week there was a church group having activities for the kids during the day, and little get togethers in the evening. One of their presentations was to honor veterans. They discovered that Sheila's dad was a World War II vet and gave him a gift and thus ends our trip for the Memorial Day GG. We left about 4:00 on Wednesday, and got home without any fanfare, pushed the camper in the garage, and unpacked over the rest of the week. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
