Dollywood 2025

I joined Mike, Virginia, Sadie and Allie for a day trip to Dollywood.

We arrived at 10 am for the opening.  Everyone was in good spirits after a 3 hours ride there.  

River rampage was our first ride.  Nothing like starting the day off soaking wet. 

Allie wasn't sure what to think of it at first, but she ended up enjoying the ride. 

The weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold.  And there were no lines for anything!

I tried to get a family picture, but Allie wasn't interested in holding still.  The little ones started to get just a little grumpy around 3:00.  They had eaten all of their snacks so I suggested the all you can eat buffet.  Amazingly, after that their energy was renewed and we went for another round of rides.  

We finally had to drag them away. 

One the way out, Sadie really wanted to pick some flowers.  After I said no, she asked if she could pick up the ones that had fallen off.  Ok, I couldn't see any harm in that.  She carried them all the way to the truck.  I found a container and put in some water and she held onto that for the whole ride home checking on them periodically until she fell asleep.  She really loves flowers.  

After 10 hours Allie was still dancing. 

It was a very nice day.
