Hi to all who read my blog. I have been spending the last week in the beautiful Gatlinburg area. The Westgate Smokey Mountain Resort is absolutely wonderful. If you ever want to visit simply email me at kenfr3230@gmail.com and I will help you get a special rate.
It has been hot here but that is not an issue. We have been to the Smith Family Theater and saw the Smith Brothers. It was a good show, I would rate it 8 out of 10. A definte must see if you are in town.
Hiking in the mountains is a great experience. We went to Cades Cove and saw some of the old homes and churches. Then we hike back to Abrams Falls, 2.5 miles in and 2.5 miles back out. I thought I would die, but I made it, bad heart and all. If you do the hike make sure you take more than one water bottle and a good pair of hiking shoes.
It is always busy here but the only place we had to wait a long time was Wendy's. The Apple Barn is worth the trip and the food at the Applewood restaurant is wonderful.
Just a six hour drive from Dayton, Ohio and well worth the trip.
I know this is not why you read this blog and next week I will be back to my regular writings, but I thought a review of our vacation would be good.
