Gatlinburg

Mother's Day weekend Hubby and I went to Gatlinburg to hear about a Bluegreen vacation club. We thought it was going to be a time share kind of thing but it wasn't. It's a neat idea that's points based so we can use any facility, any time, any size lodging. kind of cool. The Bluegreen resort in Gatlinburg is Mountain Loft. I can't wait to start vacationing.

We had a good time while we were in Gatlinburg. Hubby hurt his back at work the week before so we didn't move around much. It was relaxing anyway.

Note to self (and anyone else who loves pizza): There is a little ma and pa sort of Italian restaurant on Hwy 231 one mile from downtown Gatlinburg called Brick Oven. We left the Aquarium Saturday morning and had just paid for parking and realized that if we wanted to eat lunch we were going to have to pay for parking again because Hubby couldn't walk far. I got in the far right lane on the main street and couldn't get in the left to avoid being forced to turn down 231. So we drove on just to see what we could see and found this little restaurant. There was nobody there. no lines. It couldn't be too bad. We ordered a medium pizza. It was huge and loaded with fresh vegetables. It was every bit as good as the Mellow Mushroom chain. Check it out.

This is so wrong. Seafood buffet at the aquarium.

Now this guy was upside down and sideways, spinning around and everything but never stopped wiping the glass. Never has window washing ever looked so exciting, so enticing, alluring even, a bit erotic, definitely wet. . .Oh stop, this is a family kind of blog.

Sunday morning we drove through the state park. The mountains were quite pleasant and beautiful as ever.
