RMS agrees with Addison, you HAVE to mix and match the freezies! We stop at that particular one every time we go on our Adventurecation. We usually end up spending to much $ there... AND too much time! The one in Sevierville I think is the biggest one. That one is close to Pigeon Forge.
@SantosChronicles Күн бұрын
It's a smart idea especially how clean their restrooms are. Yea, it was not a cheap stop at all but much more fun than most gas station stops. I tried to hit that Sevierville one but somehow I missed it going both ways. So I got lucky when I saw the one in Kentucky.

HUG THE COW CARL!!! Hahahaha. I get not wanting to. I'm not a huge fan myself and i don't really have any traumatic memories! Sounds kind of like an anniversary Rugged Mountain Momma and I would have. I had never heard the story about Chico and his gang. Interesting.

Yea, Melissa wanted me to have the full experience so bad. I was happy just giving it a little pet. I have come a long way since I first started this channel. Easily, this is is the most animals pet by me in a day. Small steps. I remember seeing the St. Louis 6 on the news several years ago. Such a random news segment. The showed live shots similar to O.J.

I've seen lots of videos on this. Yours was a great video, but I don't get it as a place to stop. ha ha
@SantosChronicles Күн бұрын
Mian reason to stop is that the restrooms are so clean. I don't even know how that is possible with all the people going there. But it works. As you know on road trips, getting clean bathrooms are a luxury. And the kids are so excited to get all the snacks. It is a fun but not so cheap stop. My goal is to go to the one in Dallas during my first road trip alone. Wish me luck.

Aww I want to hug a cow! They are such gentle animals. Wow that pig was enormous but was the smallest one there?! That's crazy. You did a great job facing your fear of animals, Carl👍🏼 When you have a turkey on your channel all I can think of is the turkey testicle festival🤣 That's so awesome that Chico led his fellow cows away from the slaughterhouse, and now they're living a great life! Loved this video!
@SantosChronicles Күн бұрын
I have come a long way. Even though I technically didn't hug them, that was the most animals I pet in a day. So one small step of facing my fears. LOL, please don't tell the turkeys I did that!

Addison tries to be more serious now since she is a mature teenager. But silly Addison comes out here and there and so I had to make sure to include it. You have gotten to see both my girls grow up on the channel. Easily the best night walk I have ever been to. One of the top things we did.
