Day 11 Wednesday 6/16/10 Smoky Mts & Asheville


I hardly slept last night, after reading an email from Yvonne Wood telling me we need to go thru the Smokey Mountains and then to the Biltmore. I dreamed of going to the Biltomore but never thought I would get the chance. Now it is one more thing on my bucket list I can cross off.

Our first stop on the road thru the Smokey Mts. was a knife store. We weren't going to stop but there were so many people there we had to find out what all the hype was. If you needed a knife they had it, along with guns, swords, ninga stuff and of course t shirts and all that goes with tourists. I thought this would be a less travelled road but boy was I wrong. When we got to Pigeon Forge (Dollyworld) it was like we were back in Branson,MO. there were tourists all over the place. A girl in a shop told us a good place to eat was Bullfish and she was right. I had a grouper sandwich and Jonny had a crab cake sandwich, we both only ate half and had the other half for dinner. I like that most of the rooms now have microwaves and refrigerators in them.

We got to the Biltmore at 5:00 and got tickets for tomorrow. Jonny almost had a heart attack when he found out it was $130. I tried to get him to stay in the car while I bought the tickets, but it was too hot so he came in. It is so beautiful here. . Tomorrow will be great I can hardly wait.
