[@algernon5776]

I don't know if you travel outside your comfort zone but I would suggest Biloxi, Mississippi (in off season October/November) and stay at the Margaritaville Hotel right on the water. Beautiful hotel and off season rates are low and the temperatures are in the 70/80s. An added bonus is New Orleans is 1 hour away. Worth a thought.

We have traveled to Tupelo, Mississippi. Thanks for the information. I will put in on our list of things to do. 😎😎

@J & B In The Hills Biloxi is an ocean city with great restaurants (seafood/non-seafood). The museums are interesting. Of there are casinos but I don't drink or gamble but I sure like the buffetts

[@jbjacobs9514]

Thanks for the video! What was that blue building that was behind you in the beginning when you were walking? Was that the hotel? It was so cute! When I was a drinker, I stuck to vodka, and I absolutely LOVED that Watermelon Wave! But I would have loved to have tried the kids drink (Parakeet Punch). It had all the fruits in a lemonade - sounds better than most drinks ever! The restaurant is so relaxing looking and very island-y! And they had me at Bundt cake. LOL I just love those bundts! Unfortunately, Artichoke is like Brussel Sprouts to me - I tried & tried over the years; still can't stomach either. hehe

I've been looking at it but seeing mixed reviews. The food looks yummy.

@@jbinthehills thanks for the info. I've watched a little on Dollywood including your videos. I'm just curious if staying on property is worth the price since the two benefits I see is the shuttle and extra time in the park. Not paying for parking sounds good but I herd the trolley goes to dollywood too.

my wife and I went back to get a burger (which was very good) but strangely, when we walked into the restaurant, we smelled sewer. it stunk so bad we asked to be moved toward the back to get out of the stinky area. It was a bit better in the back but still not completely gone. We later talked to another person/patron who said he smelled it too and knew exactly what we were talking about. The waitress said there was a problem, and the management was aware of it and they were trying to fix it. My personal opinion is that it doesn't seem like they are doing anything about it because this is the second time we went in there and smelled this awful smell. we decided if we do go back, we are gonna either get takeout or eat outside on patio. Aside from that, to be honest, they do have good burgers there! Just my thoughts. 🙂

We review every place before we go. If it's rated bad we will not go to it. We have had meals that aren't as great as others. Like this place it's basic frozen food that's pretty good but not worth the price you pay. You pay for the atmosphere of eating in here so you expect the price you pay.
