I love you more than Dollywood Cinnamon Bread!

Dollywood, Filled with Flowers

May 19, 2022May 20, 2022 / unbiddengrace

In May 2022, we went to Dollywood for the Food and Flower Festival

This topiary is a depiction of Dolly’s song Coat of Many Colors

As she sewed, she told a story
From the Bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldn’t wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
– Dolly Parton

“I don’t see how a pumpkin patch could be more sincere than this one.” — It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

The first weekend of October, we took a one-day trip with C.A. to see the Pumpkin Luminights at Dollywood.

The Mystery Mine illuminated for the events.

It’s not Dollywood if you don’t eat an entire loaf of Cinnamon Bread.

We shared our apple butter with this honey bee.

My original theme park crew: these two cheery faces!

See our quick vlog of the day here.^

We’re already looking forward to going back for the Christmas lights!

Outside the Mystery Mine at Dollywood; pretty sure this is my favorite ride!

Scott’s emotions after trying cinnamon bread for the first time.

A “must do” at Dollywood is visiting the Grist Mill for cinnamon bread. If Disney World has Dole Whips and Universal has Butterbeer, the iconic must eat item at Dollywood is the hot, fresh, gooey cinnamon bread.

In June 2021 we took a big ol’ fashioned family vacay to Universal Studios for Dana’s 40th birthday!

We are Kings of the (theme park) Bus! [<–This is a Tim Tracker reference, and if ya know, ya know.]

First time to Dollywood: 2020!

December 4, 2020October 20, 2021 / unbiddengrace / Leave a comment

Sometimes you just need a little bit of extra theme park magic…

My best theme park partner and I headed up to Dollywood for the weekend. We didn’t get a lot of photos because we mostly spent our time soaking it all in — the cinnamon bread, the rides, the train! We are Disney World Fans to our core, but Dollywood actually astounded us with it’s charm.

We already can’t wait to come back and bring the boys next time!
