luvmydog2 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I had a great trip to Dixie Stampede. The food was great and the show was excelent. I know that Fay, OkDebi and Ry are going to hate me for this but the whole chicken that they brought me was delicious and not wasted. Can you imagine 1500 people per show for 7 days (with 2 showes on week-ends)? How many whole chickens is that a year? For those of you that have never been there, you eat southern style with your fingers and no silverware. We went to the top of the mountain and man was it cold. I had to put my jacket over my mouth to breathe. Was snowing on top. Ice was on the trees. Beautiful. The grand-kids had never been. We stopped at the museaum at bottom of mountain before going up. I wanted the kids to see the animals etc that were stuffed and on display. My grandson would not go near the bear. It looked real and he didn't believe that it was stuffed. He is 8 years old too. I have been there before but not with the kids. We had so much fun I had to share. I am returning my pass Ry but may need it again. There are 2 more grand-children. I have promised to take then next year but I don't know.... I thought about everyone while I was gone and am glad that there is no bad news. Elaine, I am glad to see you back. I know you left for holidays but didn't see a post before I left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvmydog2 Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Hey is the Jack Daniels distillery tour open all year long? The distillery is open 361 days a year. They give free samples along the tour route too. (Just Kidding) http://www.jackdaniels.com/directions.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ry Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I have been there Bruce. The only free sample they give out is lemonade. It is a dry county. If they where free I would be there 361 days a year. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Bruce, How wonderful to look through kids' eyes at it all over again! A WHOLE chicken, huh? Musta been one of them itty-bitty double-breasted ones.... Glad to see you back! Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBeth Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Oh Bruce I love the Smokies. Bill and I try to get down there at least twice a year. We've never done the Dixie Stampede, but I must say that you make it sound grand and we may just have to do that on our next trip! Gatlinburg during Christmas...that ought to be beautiful with the snow capped mountains in the background....sitting in front of a huge fire after getting out of a hot tub in a mountain chalet. Oh, sorry....got lost in the dream! Welcome home Bruce, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Bruce I envey you the trip, but not the snow, we have some here. Glad you had so much fun, the children will always remember all they saw. J.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
