On our leisurely drive up, after dropping the pups off for two fun days at doggy camp, we decided to try a new spot for lunch. After being misdirected by our outdated GPS in Jeremiah Jeep (aka JJ), we found Wendall's Diner in Harriman.
The decor is straight out of the 80's - fun memorabilia abounds!
The menu offers a wide selection and there were lunch specials.
Stu opted for a Reuben with onion rings and I got a steak hoagie with fries. Both meals were excellent but next time, we will split the onion rings and pass on the fries. BIG servings!
We got into Dollywood about 3:45 ET (we always forget we lose an hour when traveling east on these short trips). The next show was starting just after 4, so we found a good seat. The show was "It's a Wonderful Life" and we enjoyed it. I snapped a few photos with my iPhone, not the best, but best I could do.
When we came out, the sky featured a blushing sunset, setting off the beautiful light displays.
I snapped several photos of the lights as the evening darkened...
We wandered the park, sat for a bit to enjoy some holiday music and ended the evening with our favorite meal - sausages smothered with sweet onions & peppers. Yum!
A fun day, albeit a cold one. A warm hotel room awaited us. We look forward to visiting again when spring comes!

Ciao for now!
Stu and Donna
I have never been to Dollywood so I would love to visit any time of year! Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great place...I love the vendors and the shows. Stu loves the roller coasters. LOL! They also have a kid section with rides for the little ones.
