Jen snapped this shot of us. She wouldn't let me post the first one, but those of you who would like to see it, let me know and I will send it to you.

Last Night in Gatlinburg

Elli wanted to take one last swim at the pool before heading home tomorrow. If you look closely you can spot her in the pic.

Titanic

What do the Titanic and Pigeon Forge have in common? Absolutely nothing, but it was still a very nice museum. Lots of neat displays and facts.

Pigeon Forge History Lesson

While Jen and the kids were in the gift shop I sat outside and listened to the elderly gentleman, seated and in red be interviewed about his grandfather, who used to own the mill that is now the Old Mill Restaurant and all the other changes that have taken place in this town since he was a kid. Neat stuff.

Ok, maybe "smiles" was a slight exaggeration.

Most would shy away from staying at a place with a windmill, but not the White's

Smokey Mountain Brewery

I forgot to post this earlier....My beautiful ladies at Smokey Mountain Brewery for some supper. Good food and atmosphere. This was a new discovery hidden back behind a few other spots in Gatlinburg. We will definitely be back to eat here again in future visits.

A quick dip in the pool and then back to the room. It's been a long, but fun day!

Deer

Haven't seen any bear as we did last year, but we did see these tiny deer. They seem to be darker and smaller than Ohio deer.
