THIS IS OUR SECOND TRIP TO THE GATLINBURG AREA. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL STAY, EXCEPT FOR THE BED. WE WISH THE CABIN WOULD HAVE BEEN DECORATED FOR CHRISTMAS. THIS IS WHY WE CAME IN DECEMBER, ANYWAY BECAUSE WE WANTED TO COME AND SEE THE LIGHTS AT DOLLY WOOD. ALSO, MADE SURE THAT DOLLY WOOD WAS OPEN THIS TIME. THE WEATHER WAS WARMER THAN WE HAD ANTICIPATED AND IT WAS WONDERFUL. WE DID GO TO TO DOLLY WOOD AND IT WAS NOT OVER-CROWDED. IT WAS ALL DECORATED FOR CHRISTMAS AND IT WAS VERY PRETTY AND COLORFUL. THE WEATHER FORCASTERS PREDICTED RAIN AND IT DID RAIN BUT ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IT WAS OVERCAST BUT PLEASANTLY WARM WHILE WE WERE AT THE PARK. IT DID LOOK LIKE IT WAS GOING TO RAIN SO I THINK ALOT OF PEOPLE OPTED, MAYBE, TO GO THE NEXT DAY. SOME OF THE RIDES CLOSED DOWN BECAUSE OF THE RAIN, TOO. WE HAD ONLY PLANNED TO RIDE THREE RIDES. THE TRAIN RIDE IS THE ONLY ONE WE GOT TO RIDE ON. THE RIDE WAS REALLY NEAT! WE SAW A FEW SHOWS. ALL OF THEM WERE VERY GOOD. I DID GET SOME GOOD VIDEO AND PICTURES. I WILL POST MOST OF DOLLY WOOD ON ANOTHER ENTRY
A GATLINBURG BROCHURE
. WE ENJOYED THE HOT TUB AT THE CABIN. IT WAS SO WONDERFUL. WE DID NOT GET TO ENJOY THE JACUZZI BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN IT. I REALLY LOVED THE WINDING ROADS UP TO THE CABIN. IN FACT, WE COULD NOT FIND OUR CABIN AND HAD TO FOLLOW A MAN (HE SAYS HE DOES THIS OFTEN) TO OUR CABIN. THE ROADS WIND AROUND AND AROUND AND UP AND DOWN. THE SCENERY WAS BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE THEIR WAS NO LEAVES ON THE TREES AND WE COULD SEE ALL THE BEAUTIFUL CABINS. THE SOUNDS I HEARD WHILE UP ON THE MOUNTAIN WERE SO NEAT! WE ATE OUT EVERYDAY. ONE OF THE BEST PLACES WE ATE AT WAS THE MILL. YOU TALK ABOUT LARGE PORTIONS OF FOOD, THAT'S A FACT! EVERYONE SEEMED TO BE TAKING THEIR TIME EATING AND ENJOYING THEMSELVES. AGAIN, WE WENT TO THE COUNTRY STORE. I BOUGHT A PACKAGE OF THE MILL'S CORN COWDER MIX. WE ATE IN DOLLY WOOD AND THE FOOD WAS GOOD. WE WALKED THE STRIP AND BOUGHT FUDGE, AGAIN! WE REALLY ENJOYED THE STRIP. MAINLY WHAT WE WERE ENJOYING WAS JUST WATCHING PEOPLE ENJOY THEMSELVES. WE DID NOT GO INTO MANY SHOPS. WE DID GO INTO A SHOP COMPLEX (DO NOT REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS CALLED) WE TRULY ENJOYED OUR STAY. IT WAS WONDERFUL BUT WHEN WE COME BACK AGAIN BUT WE WILL NOT STAY IN THIS CABIN; BECAUSE OF THE BED. WE DID NOT GET GOOD SLEEP IN IT. EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT A BEARS VIEW CABIN WAS SO WONDERFUL! WE PROBABLY WILL GO BACK AGAIN BUT NOT TO IT. I HAVE TO GO BACK, AGAIN, TO THE BEACH. I CAN HEAR IT CALLING TO ME...IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
