We spent the day in Gatlinburg, TN as tix to Dollywood ($50 each) were too rich for our blood. We were so excited to find the real life Herbie car. Alexander is a HUGE Herbie the Love Bug fan and this was a special treat.
The skies opened up and rained on us on and off all day. It was a warm summer rain, so not much of a nuisance. Nevertheless, Mark and Bubba opted for an indoor mini golf course (black lit and a bit creepy).
They also went through a mirror maze. Can you tell which Alexander is the real one?
Its in reverse of course, but Alexander (AKA: Bubba as named by Sophie meaning Brother) got a new hat at Bubba Gump Shrimp. (if you can't tell, it says Bubba on the front)
Later we stopped by Cooters, as in the Dukes of Hazzard, mainly to take these 2 shots.
Who says rainy days can't be fun?

Its a great place to visit. The beauty is at times breath taking.
You got to see the General Lee? NO FAIR!?
Tell me, was Boss Hogg & Roscoe P. Coltrain there? For a fleeting moment did you hear a balladeer say "Well, it was about this time that those Duke boys found themselves in a heap o' trouble." Jen -- I know you must have spent a great deal of time declining Mark's requests for you to don a Daisy Duke midriff top and slide through the window of the General. YEEEEEE HAH!!!!

As the saying goes, it's a fun place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. Beautiful though.
