So far we haven't done much. We arrived here yesterday at around 5:30pm and just went to Walmart, which is conveniently across the street from where we're staying =]
Today we weren't able to do much since it was raining for most of the day. In the morning we went to the welcome orientation at the resort. We were the only non-white people and everyone else was old :l it was kind of weird, we just stuck out like sore thumbs. Anyways after feeling awkward for an hour this morning we then drove to the Great Smokey's National Park to get a map and everything to plan for our hike. After that we just went outlet mall shopping, there wasn't any deals there plus the tax here is kind of high, its around 9%. Which is a lot less than our tax but its a lot more than some of the other States we've been to with either 5% or even no tax on clothing items :O
For dinner we ate at a place called Texas Road House where they had a special today on ribeye steak :O for $10.99!!! Usually I am very picky about my steak but the steak here was really good and the cut was really nice as well =]
I'm craving ribs though
I just finished playing Clue: Harry Potter Edition it makes me miss playing board games all the time =[ Plus now a day kids games dont teach you that much. Clue teaches you deductive reasoning and strategy in order to figure out all the clues :O Def one of my fav games =]
&& Harry Potter rocks ;D
ReplyDeleteAha~ Wal-Mart (y) always seems like the first thing you gotta do: get food xD
ReplyDeleteI remember when we went to Florida and the first thing we did was go to Wal-Mart... saddest part is that is probably the part I remember the best at this point :/
haha we used to go to Costco all the time too :O
ReplyDeleteexcept they didn't have one where we were staying :l
I remember reading some of my travel journals and the first entry would be like... "today we went to costco!" haha
they have a lot more things in the States at Costco :l
