It was my dh turn to host his VietNam reunion in Gatlinburg. This year we had 24 couples and with each year we find more guys that were there. Thank the good Lord that they are still with us. It was a blast. The Gatlinburg Inn is a 1937 vintage hotel and the staff was wonderful to us.

You were in my old stomping ground. As I am originally from Newport. TN. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are in God's country. I understand that Paula Deen has a place to eat there now. I always liked the "Apple Barn". Are you from Tennessee?

The Apple Barn is a great place to eat. I want to go to Paula's Restaurant if I ever get down that way again.
Maybe we will make it together!!
Are we there yet???? lol
I was told at Paula's there are NO "carry out" for leftovers. Food was good, but expensive. We live in Knoxville, near there.
I usually get several quarts of Apple Butter from the Apple Barn Kay. Haven't been to Gatlinburg in quite a few yrs now but G daughter goes a couple times a yr and I always ask her to bring me some because Ron loves it
Yes, best apple butter, ever!
I realize some may not know apple butter. It is like preserves or jam with no pectin , apples cooked in oven with spices added, so good on toast or biscuits.

I think that is great to have reunions. I know Rob and I treasure our years in the AF and hope to keep in contact with folks we have met for many years to come. Keep those reunions going.

A wonderful place to have a reunion. Wonderful that you had 24 couples. I bet it was grand. I just realized the las time We were in Gatlinburg was 9/11 we were eating an early b'fast coming home that day when the first news came in on the tv in the restraunt. People thought it was a joke till we saw the 2d plane crashing in the towers. A day to never forget/Lillian
