| Saturday morning we got up after sleeping a bit later and for once didn't rush! Felt dog gone good!!!! LOL We ate a wonderful country breakfast at this restaurant called The Apple Barn. If anyone out there ever gets the chance, go there! YUM!!!! After looking all around there and shopping in their shop (got some apple butter for Ken's mum - that's something they don't have here) and some hot apple cider mix (LOVE a cup of that stuff!), we headed to Cade's Cove in The Great Smoky Mountain National Park (the most visited National Park in America). I had been there before and wanted to share it with Ken. It's an old old community at the foot of The Smoky Mountains and just full of wildlife and gorgeous views. They have a 11 mile loop road around the cove and we enjoyed every mile, stopped at old log cabins & churches built back in the 1800's by European immigrants. We took plenty of photos, as you will see. It's just so peaceful and nice there. When we finished the loop, which took all afternoon, we headed back to Pigeon Forge and got something to eat at Mel's Diner. We had foot long hotdogs (mine with chili), fries and a strawberry shake. Fun!
