Trip, Day two

Day Two:

Today we woke up a little late, but all the same. We walked down to Gatlinburg for breakfast, only to discover that most of the restaurants by then were crowded and we didn't want to wait all day to get breakfast. We ended up at McDonalds for Hot Cakes. Then down to a few little shops to look around and maybe find a hat. I got a new feather accent for my fedora!

We then decided we did really want to go riding. The first place we stopped had a weight limit and the little one couldn't ride at all. I found out then that we were gonna be doing things together or not at all. So we ended up at a different one outside of Pigeon Forge. I ended up on a much larger horse that was already agitated. She ran me into a tree and wouldn't listen at all to my commands. She passed another horse to my dismay in the beginning. In the end though, we figured each other out a bit and I enjoyed my ride immensely.

I took a few new roads back because no one could decide on the next adventure and traffic was hell back into Gatlinburg. And we ended up back here at the hotel. I tried to get them to understand I didn't want to waste all of my time down here just laying around not being able to get along and I really wanted to go to the park. We ended up going swimming. Later in the evening I came to realize that I came down here for different reasons than them. I don't go to a National Park to check out all the tourist trap type games, parks, and stuff like that, I go for the nature, the history, and the quiet experiences. We ended up at an Arcade and I realized I would probably be visiting the Park alone.

After a short stop or two here and there it was Put-Put Golf until 1am. Now I've packed my bookbag for a hick and will be grabbing a map and taking a day trip by myself to Cade's Cove and a few other roads for the beautiful views and the things I love most about this area, the Mountains.

Wish me luck on my adventures! I may get lost! But I have always enjoyed getting lost too.
