Dollywood

June,24-25 We spent Thursday afternoon and all day Friday at Dollywood. If you go in past 3 PM you can also have the entire next day too for the one day price. Better yet, if you book online you also get a free meal at one of the buffets (normally 15.00/person). Because of the heat and humidity, there are misting fans located all over the park to help you cool off, and you can get free glasses of ice water at any drink booth in the park. Ellen is not one for rides but I was able to get her on a few. The water rides. Of course we got wet but with the heat it felt great. We found if you walk around partially wet, you feel cooler. Later in the day I decided to try my hand at the big rides. They have some awesome roller coasters here. So much to do and see. My nephews would have a blast. We also took a tour of Dolly’s RV. A Lot of pink and flowers. This is the only amusement park we’ve been to that you can watch them fry up pork rinds in a giant kettle of hot fat and big bags of them sell better than kettlecorn in this part of the country. We enjoyed several shows with very talented singers and musicians. You’ve just gotta appreciate a good banjo or fiddle player!
