To Gatlinburg, Smoky Mountains

Posted by Dawn at Saturday, May 21, 2005
This morning, we checked out and went to Gatlinburg. The town is really neat. It reminds me of a fairy tale kind of town. The architecture is very nice with lots of wood and bricks. There were a lot of shops and fun-mini golf, ripley's believe it or not aquarium,haunted house etc.. The journey in Tennessee is beautiful. The grass is very green and vast. A bit like Tasmania, Australia.

The coach bus dropped the families off at the Aquarium while the rest went to Smoky Mountains to see. We did not have much time, so we only walked about 2 hours to the waterfall and took the nature trail. Not much. Quite disappointed as I did not get to see the mountains and the smokiness of it! However, I bought postcards of the beautiful smoky mountains. Hope to go back there next time..maybe in autumn when the leavs are red.

We went for lunch at the town area. I had an American bacon cheeseburger with large onion rings, while CT had T-Bone Steak. I enjoyed my burger, but CT's steak not so nice. After a short tour of the place, we hopped onto our bus to go back to Mobile, Alabama.

The trip was very very looong.. It was torturous as sometimes, the baby will cry so loudly and disturb our sleep. Sometimes, they will cry and wail for so long..that I do pity the parents..

I did not really eat dinner as I was still full from lunch. I just ordered a milk shake and ate some fries while CT ordered a burger.

We only managed to reach back home at 2am. So tiring..I hated the ride as it was boring. Throughout the trip, I finished one story book already which I bought it here. Think next time take plane flight better. Anyway, I am glad to be back home here and waiting in anticipation for my parents to come.
