Owen has been looking forward to his fifth-grade field trip to the Smoky Mountains all year, and it did not disappoint. He had such a wonderful time. His group spent three days / two nights exploring Pigeon Forge and the surrounding areas. Granny Mel went as a chaperone, and she also had a great time.
Day one began early. The bus pulled out at 5:00 a.m. The students headed to Rock City and then they attended Dolly's
Dixie Stampede later that evening. Owen said that his favorite part of this day is when the group made a conga line and went around the room at the stampede pre-show.
Day two started off with a visit to the Titanic museum. Everyone was given the identity of a Titanic passenger at the beginning of the tour, and then you get to see what happened to "you" at the end. Owen and Granny Mel were both survivors.
After the Titanic, the group traveled to Ober Gatlinburg where they participated in activities such as ice skating, sight-seeing via the scenic chair lift, and riding the mountain coaster. That evening, they attended the Hatfield and McCoy's Dinner Feud show. This was Owen and Mel's favorite thing of the whole trip (and it was mine when I went on this trip with Olivia last year). This show is just so entertaining.
Before coming home, the group visited "The Island" entertainment complex to do some shopping. Everyone had a great time on the trip.
