Just when you think you've heard enough about my short trip to Gatlinburg, I bring it up again!!
While we where there, I found something better than the Fountain of Youth…I found the Fountain of Chocolate! While in Gatlinburg, Ole Boy and I stopped at the Golden Corral…we don’t have one of those in my neck of the woods. They have a pretty good breakfast bar, and some really good breakfast pizza, (I love that stuff). They also had a chocolate fountain.

Do you hear what I’m saying?
A fountain of Chocolate!
We covered strawberries, macaroons, pineapple, and Rice Krispie candy in chocolate. And ate it all. There’s no wonder I gained a few pounds. No, no wonder at all! (Pictures not mine.)
We also ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., another place that hasn’t made it to Small Town, Alabama, yet. Considering that Alabama is a large part of the Forrest Gump movie….well, never mind. But judging by the other restaurants in my area, either of these places would do great. If you ever get the chance to eat at Bubba Gump’s, you should. It’s a little pricey, but very, very good.
The rest of these pictures are mine...

It rained all day Friday, and unbeknownst to us, at some point, some places began to get snow. We woke up to a chilly, but clearing, Saturday morning, and after eating breakfast at The Old Mill Restaurant (my favorite place to eat breakfast in the Smokies…other than that breakfast pizza and chocolate fountain, that is…we headed to the Roaring Fork Motor Trail. That's where we found a mini-winter-wonderland.
