Pigeon Forge has so much to offer. Dollywood, go-cart tracks, motels, pancake houses, mini golf, magic shows, pancake houses, and pancake cabins. My birthday only involved the first item up for bid. Dollywood is a magical place that combines the best of amusement park fun with country music and Jesus love.
Those who know me may be aware that I don't love roller coasters. But I took the occasion of my 28th birthday as an opportunity to grow. So I joined Michael on a wild ride called Thunderhead. It's a rickety old wooden coaster that shook us side to side. It's amazing how much your body can move in those restraints. But I really enjoyed the speed. Next challenge: upside down coasters. Michael rode this one, but I passed this time.
And then we finished the night off right, East Tennessee-style. AKA, dinner with lots of butter and salt at Bullfish. (Yes, that's a fish in a bull's mouth outside the restaurant. Pretty literal).
And have you ever heard of wine-based hard liquor? Yeah, apparently I couldn't order a mixed drink because the restaurant only offered "wine-based" rum, vodka, and tequila. It was confusing.
You can't beat the tab at the late night (1o:30pm) watering hole behind the restaurant. Good night, birthday.
Wow. Sounds like a perfect Ryan Daniels birthday. Now if only they had some frozen custard and hallah... =) So glad to see you are traveling so much and keeping an entertaining record of the travels. Can't wait to hear about all of your excursions when you return!
