Camping in the Smokies - Day 3 of 7

Sam was up early...again. I sense a pattern. That was okay through, because we had to get ready for Dollywood. Amy and I have been down here so many times and had NEVER been to Dollywood.

We had a reservation for Sunny at Doggywood. That's the name of the kennel at Dollywood. They charge $15/day and you can come and walk/feed/play with them whenever you want.

We rode ALL of the kiddie rides....many times. Unfortunately, I can no longer ride "spinny" rides. I just get too sick. So, Amy rode all of those with Sam. We also all rode the train, a five-mile trip around the foothills of the Smoky Mountains.

For lunch, we ate ate a restaurant called "Aunt Lillian's". She had some fun with Sam.

After lunch, we rode more kid rides. We also went to a bird show that was VERY cool. Apparently, Dollywood is home to the world's largest Bald Eagle sanctuary.

We spend the rest of the day riding more rides and watching a show called "Sha-kon-oh-hey". Sam fell asleep on the way back to the camper and we just put him in bed when we got back.

Amy and I spent the rest of the night making dinner and watching the finale of "The Amazing Race" on cbs.com.

I can't really explain Dollywood better, but I have plenty of pictures.



Tomorrow: Apple Barn, Laurel Falls, Clingman's Dome, and Sam's first trip to the Gatlinburg strip.
