My husband and I took Spring Break trips there with our kids 3 years in a row. But we've been there a few other times as well.<br />I believe we enter on the side of town near Rocky Waters.<br />glad you had such a wonderful time with your friends.Splendid Little Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732090154244573323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-53207621756147359812012-01-13T01:17:07.617-06:002012-01-13T01:17:07.617-06:00I would know that Gatlinburg street anywhere! :)
T...I would know that Gatlinburg street anywhere! :)<br />That grille always looked inviting to us but we never managed to go in. <br />It sounds like all of you had a very special time together. <br />I too envy them their hiking ability. I wish I had done that years ago and conditioned myself. The Smokies are a wonderful place for hiking.<br />I was just thinking when I opened your blog that you picked the perfect title. You are always so joyful and it shows in the pics George takes. You're a wonderful inspiration to show us how to live my Dear Betsy.Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-23769784529014235212012-01-13T01:11:53.604-06:002012-01-13T01:11:53.604-06:00I love your pictures, Betsy, of you and Judy and o...I love your pictures, Betsy, of you and Judy and of the four of you!
