Today, we have mainly been theme parking!

Neither of us are overly enthusiastic about theme parks but you can’t come all this way to Pigeon Forge and not take in the iconic queen of Country, Dolly Parton’s theme park, Dollywood. The other bonus was that our son, Oscar, who couldn’t make it on this trip due to Uni, is a HUGE theme park enthusiast. So he was realllllly annoyed that we would be going to Dolly wood with him 😀

I haven’t really a great deal to tell you about Dollywood. It was exactly as you would expect it to be. The rides we went on were very good, the highlight being Lightening Rod which was also the first ride we went on. Having headed straight there as soon as we got in the park we were about 12th in the queue and got on the second running of the day. We went back later in the day and there were 2 hour queues so quite chuffed about that.

Anyway, i won’t waffle on, i’ll let the pictures do the talking.
We enjoyed the day even though it was an expensive end to our 3 weeks in America. Im glad we visited but it wouldn’t worry me if we never visited again, which we are unlikely to do anyway.

We finished our last night in at the cabin, and in America with huge dirty burgers at one of the restaurants in Pigeon Forge, dunkin donuts and beers in the hot tub after we had packed the suitcases.
10 am tomorrow we are on our way back to Nashville, back to the airport and back to Blighty 🙁
