Pigeon Forge, TN Day 5

Thursday, 8/21/2015
Pigeon Forge, TN

We are hanging around this area killing time until we have to be in Hurricane Mills, TN so today we decided to go to the movies.  We saw The Man From U.N.C.L.E.  Sorry, but I wasn't impressed.  It moved slowly.  The guy playing Napoleon Solo was good but they guy they had playing Ilya Kuriakin (sp?) was the wrong type of guy.  They had him being a big thug.  Not at all like the TV show.  There were a couple of good scenes but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

After the movie we went over to an area called The Island.  It is a shopping/eating/attraction area.  There were a few restaurants here - Dick's Last Resort, Margaritaville, a steak house and Paula Deen's Family Restaurant.  We decided to eat at Paula Deen's as we remembered her restaurant in Savannah being good.   This restaurant is served family style so each table gets 2 meats and 4 sides.  There is a list of about 6 meats and 10 sides.  Everyone has to agree on what those 2 meats are going to be!  It is fine with only 2 people but if you get a big group it is hard to get everyone to agree.  We saw tables voting on which to choose!  I can imagine our group eating here.  We would never make a decision.  We got the fried chicken and BBQ ribs.  For sides we had creamed corn, a salad, green beans and candied yams.  Each person gets to pick their own dessert, though.

We had a table by the upper window.

After "linner" we walked around and visited the stores.  We didn't find anything We couldn't live without.  We did sit and watch the dancing waters show.  They have a bunch of rocking chairs all around the area for people to sit in.


As you can see by the picture, the sky was getting dark, quickly.  We headed back to the car and to our campground.  We made it home before the rain hit.  I am not sure what we are doing tomorrow but we will come up with something.

Bye for now.
