Great Smoky Mountains



























































Internet at the hotel wasn't working correctly yesterday so I didn't blog.


We started out the morning with breakfast at Log Cabin Pancakes. Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have a lot of pancakes places!!!! After breakfast we headed into the park. We visited Sugarland visitor center and workd on Junior Rangers books. Then we went on a hike to see Cateract Falls and to John Ownby's cabin. It was biult in 1860 and repaired in 1964. We hiked for a couple of hours. Jacob looked for Salimanders, but sadly didn't find any :( They are suppose to be plentiful there but they must like to hide.


After the hike we drove to Pigeon Forge to get a late lunch. Then the boys just had to drive gocarts. We came back to the hotel for a little rest then we headed back out to see the mountains before sunset....BEAUTIFUL.


We ended up at a really interesting restuant called Huck Finns Catfish. I really wasn't hungry but the boys said they were. Even after a nice couple gave them Krispy Cream dognuts!!!! They thought the huge mason jars they brought our drinks in were great. The boys got catfish and fries. David got clams and I got chicken. Most of it came back to the hotel with us...good thing there was a fridge!!


It was a nice day but long and I don't think either David or I slept very well. We drove home this morning after feeding the boys pancakes again for breakfast. We went straight to the kennel and got Diesel. He is sleeping on the floor now, don't think he had any trama from being left. Had them bathe him so he smells good too.
