We left Georgetown, KY around 8 a.m. We decided we had to see the downtown of Georgetown, so we drove around. It was a cute little town. Georgetown College is there. It is a small Baptist college.
I found Paris, Kentucky. Yep, that is as close to Paris as I will get for a while. ha ha
Stopped at the Kentucky Horse Park to check that out. We didn't go on a tour as it is $15 and didn't have the time to go, but wanted to see where it is. It is beautiful there. I love the countryside. They have fences all around the horse farms. Kentucky has the most horses in the world.
Drove down through downtown Lexington. There are several high rises there. We stopped to see Mary Todd's childhood home which is on Main St. She was married to President Abraham Lincoln. She came from a family of 16 kids. Can you imagine having that many kids? LOL
The drive down I-75 South is beautiful with the curves and mountains along the way.
We got to Pigeon Forge, TN and the traffic was horrible. The main street going through is bumper to bumper traffic. We didn't like that. It is worse than Chicago or LA on that road. Apparently, there is a car show in town that is drawing a bunch of people.
We are staying at the Old Christmas Tree Inn which is decorated in Christmas theme in the rooms, as well as throughout the complex.
We went to the Dixie Stampede which was alot of fun. We had a nice dinner, which you had to eat with your hands...no silverware. LOL
The traffic coming back to the hotel was still horrible. Hundreds of people were even sitting in their lawn chairs on both sides of the main road watching the cars go by. We got off that road and went the back road back to the hotel, as who knows how long you would be sitting there.
Tomorrow, we are off to Dollywood for the day. I am trying to find where Dolly Parton's home is. I have the street name, but no house number, so need to figure that out.
