Michael Muldoon

My once-in-a-lifetime trip to France (with two days in London) has come to an end. From subways to theme parks, historical sites to Eiffel Tower, and five hotels, this was my most ambitious international trip yet!

Went to the Sevierville Apple Barn! It’s like a small farmers market. I highly recommend! I got banana bread, ice cream, and apple cider.

Tennessee day seven: Worked. CFA for dinner. Stopped by the apple barn, will visit again tomorrow. Dollywood: Lightning Rod Big Bear Mountain Small Bear ride Waited for Fire Chaser, but left after 20 minutes because it was running one train. Night Flight broke down in line.

Finished the night on L Rod.

This bear ride was a one and done.

Fire chaser time.

Time for Thunderhead.

Quick CFA dinner before Dollywood.

Tennessee day six: Worked. Drove around Pigeon Forge and determined some things to do soon. Bucees in Sevierville. Moonshine Mountain Cookies and Ice Cream shop.

What I bought at the Moonshine Mountain Cookies shop. I’ll definitely be back!

I went to Moonshine Mountain Cookies and Ice Cream, personally recommended by @mikeoliver93!

I went to the Bucees in Sevierville. It’s the world’s second largest. I still wish Bucees offered an option to have made to order food (like Wawa or Quick Trip). I don’t eat any of the hot food.

Tennessee day five: Worked day job. Smokey Mountain Alpine Coaster Island in Pigeon Forge, moonshine tasting Rocky Top Mountain Coaster Publix with yogurt accident

Had a yogurt accident at Publix.

Loved Rocky Top at night! Got $3 off for having a Dollywood pass. However, it was way too long and I kept wondering “when is this over.”

Now it’s time for the Rocky Top coaster at night as recommended by @TPRBrandon

There’s a candy store just like the one in Savannah! (Just a little smaller and with no popcorn). That bag of gummies cost me $22.

Currently drunk from a moonshine tasting

Definitely skipping out on this one.

Tasting quotes from the moonshine team member: “Sex on the beach, but since it’s Tennessee, sex behind the Dollar General.” “We will not compare our pickles with our neighbors, we can’t all be blessed.”
