Okay, there is full, then there is stuffed, then there is how the hell did you eat that much...think I am at that last stage. We went to The Old Mill for dinner tonight. After a 2 o'clock lunch at DQ, I really wasn't very hungry but the meal comes with soup, salad, corn fritters, rolls, mashed taters, beans (at least I didn't eat the beans) and dessert along with a HUGE portion of whatever main course you order. The country fried steak (or chicken fried as we Texans call it) was really really good as were the corn fritters and the blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream! Did I mention how stuffed I was??!
As for the rest of the day... We went back into the park today to drive up to the top. Clingmans Dome at 6643 feet is the highest point in the park and it is in North Carolina so we would hit another state! Here is a picture from the top. You can see why they are the Smoky Mountains. It really is a beautiful spot.
Since we are half way across the park and there is a casino in Cherokee we went the rest of the way across the mountains. Helen and I left the deposits for the Indians but Ron did quite well. Guess my luck was used up yesterday when no one stole my car!
We came back and sat out by our wonderful stream for a while and then went to dinner. Did I mention that I was STUFFED?! Tomorrow is Dollywood.
