Day 12 - Road Trip 2014

Welcome to Dollywood!

LOVE EVERY MOMENT

Well, yes ma'am, we did!!

What an awesome amusement park!  Want to stay another day :)

Every park in American should be using the Q2Q system as a fast pass.  OMG...they are the best I have ever seen.   Sterling & I made it through all of the coasters & high thrill attractions and without the Q2Q there is no way we could have waited in all of those lines.  Well, actually, the Blazing Fury didn't pan out because it got stuck on the track!!!  Whaatt?  Yes, it did!  So, it closed due to safety issues (stuck on the track) and we decided we probably needed to win more prizes :) Nobody got hurt but we never saw the coaster car come back so I have no idea how those people got off. 

We loved all of the coasters!!!  My head is still spinning but we had a ball!

 

Carson was done with rides after the first one...wasn't a real coaster but a magnificent swing called the Barnstormer!  But she loved the River Rampage!  She won the first prize of the day on a horse racing game...isn't that just perfect!  She picked the unicorn from Despicable Me...HAHA!!  We cracked up!

Kenedy wanted to go back to the Alpine Coaster from yesterday.  Ha!  She had a great time on "her kind" of rides.  She loaded up on winnings at the Country Fair.  Sterling helped her get all the stuffed animals she wanted!  He won several things of his own too ... throwing the football.  Coach DiFazio will be so proud :)  Our car is now loaded with lots of Dollywood loot!

The Gazillion Bubble Show was out of this world!  I have never seen anything like it.  We were so amazed.  I highly suspect that my house might be full of bubbles at some point when we get home :)  

We headed out and drove to Sweetwater, TN for the night.  Our first stop for tomorrow is right down the street.  This is only the 3rd time I have driven at night on our trip.  It was only 1.5 hrs and worth it because we like sleeping in. :)  Pray for Carson Marie.  She is really homesick tonight.  Tired & worn out from a long day and a nice talk with Daddy...she is ready to get home!

The internet so far in Tennessee is just...well there really isn't any!  This is making my picture uploading hard.  My videos still have not uploaded.  Yikes!

Road trip song of the day...I will always love you by Dolly Parton
