Pigeon Forge

The last day in the Smokey Mountains, we went to "The Old Mill". They have a dozen neat little shops to look at, see a little from the past! 

We ate lunch at the mill and the food wasn't only delicious, but each meal was enough to feed two! Tennessee definitely has great good, but we seriously got tired of eating.....they give you a ton of food!

For about 2 yrs now, Justin and I have wanted to get a small stone marking our Joel tree, in honor of our first born son, who was a stillborn, Joel Kaleb. 

While we were walking around the mill shops, we happened upon a stone shop and were able to get a stone engraved for Baby Joel, for a fraction of the price we'd seen anywhere else......and they had it done in about 4 hours! We were so excited to finally complete this desire we've had.

The rain let up just enough for Justin and I to play a round of putt putt golf, where we had played 9 years before, Saturday night!

We also got to go to a live dinner show, Dixie Stampede! The food was absolutely delicious, even though you had to eat with your hands (no silverware)!!

The show kinda reminded us of going to a rodeo, it was pretty good! But I definitely wouldn't  take little kids to it. The seating arrangements were very tight/cozy, it just wasn't child/ baby friendly at all!

One really neat thing about Tennessee is, that no one really celebrates Oct 31st! Here we were 3 weeks away from, what most people count as a Major Holiday, and everyone is decorating for Christmas instead!
