John and Jackie's Midwest Journey: Day ~ 45 Pigeon Forge, TN

First thing on our Agenda today was to go to Gatlinburg and ride the Sky lift!!! We did our usual this morning, 1) Take Dogs for Walk; 2) Feed Doggies; 3) Have our wonderful coffee made by John; 4) Vacuum and clean up RV; 5) Shower and GO!

Well, it may not have been exactly like that, but that's usually how are day begins! We ended up in Gatlinburg around 10:00. Found some excellent parking right by the Sky lift! We loved the ride up the hill! It was like a really old ski lift and it squeaked alot, this made it even more fun and exciting! We laughed alot and got some really good photos.

We spent about an hour on top taking in the view of the Smoky Mountains and the views of Gatlinburg. It's absolutely gorgeous here.

Once we got down off the Mtn., we were on the hungry side so we went and had a quick sandwich from Subway. There were a lot of restaurants to choose from but we thought we'd stick to a light lunch and save a super meal for dinner time!

We strolled through town enjoying the Fall Decorations and talking with the locals. So much fun! We even scored on a couple of Christmas presents! Our Christmas shopping is just about complete!!! Could not ask for a better area to buy unique gifts. This place is loaded with wonderful gift ideas!

We spent a good 4 hours downtown then decided to head back before the boys destroyed our 5th wheel! It just makes us smile to see that they are such good dogs. The 5th wheels stays super nice while we are away....They just watch Soap Opera's and sleep while we are gone!

Once we got back, we took the boys for a good run and swim in the creek. They enjoy this RV Park as well because they get to play off leash here. We let them swim and play until they zonk out under a shade tree.

John was able to wash the truck this afternoon at our RV site. While he washed the truck, I cleaned the RV really good. I also got the itch to make a nice dinner for us tonight instead of going out to dinner. We are staying in tonight as well , big day tomorrow and we are sooo looking forward to it. Also, Grey's Anatomy is on tonight and we can't miss this episode!!! Another great end to a wonderful day here at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee!
