Thanks SO much Vicki! I just PM'd you.

DRY in Sevierville and Pigeon Forge?!? Oh God. And we're staying in Sevierville....

Yes, I am much improved on the whole idea today vs. yesterday. I think I might try for a diversion day to the Biltmore Mansion in Asheville, NC. Which is very cool.

Even though, yes, a cabin in the mountains would be beautiful - - that's part of the problem. We are ALL (3 adults, 2 kids) in ONE hotel room. A SUPER 8! Do you see where I'm coming from now? It was my parents' choice. Oh well. Togetherness.

We'll make the best of it. My kids (9 & 11) will have fun with all the amusements. However, I've heard its a dry county - - say it isn't so!! At least I know they don't serve alcoholic beverages at Dixie Stampede

Ah, I see more of your picture now.

I think the idea of a side trip to the Biltmore would be fun. We had "Afternoon Tea" after we'd been to the spa. Good idea!

I'm semi-ashamed to admit that I'm going to Gatlinburg voluntarily for a few days after New Year's. Renting a very nice cabin up in the mountains, and that really is incredibly relaxing. I try not to come down to the towns any more than necessary, because all that crap really will gag you. Unless you like pancakes and barbecue. There are a few decent restaurants there, I'm hoping there are four at least or I'll have to double up...
