If you want good Italian food while in the Smokies you should check out Mamma Mia's. They moved locations. The calzones are phenomenal!

[@leishabest313]

We live near the coast in NC. We escape to the mountains in July too. We are headed home in Tuesday. Hope you enjoy❤️Aslo I noticed the way you exit your RV by grabbing the handhold with your right hand and then turn to grab with your left. I do the same. Makes me feel not so old.😊 I’m at least 15 years older than you.

[@debragriffith6628]

Welcome to the great state of Tennessee!!! Hope you enjoy!

[@k_enn]

I spent time in the Southeast some 40 years ago for a few years, and never heard of Buc-Ee's. I just recently became a full timer and just took an extended stop break in Florida. I finally stopped in a Buc-Ee's for the first time. How could I not know about them? Their jerky is great, as is their fudge. I dropped more than a few dollars there on fudge and jerky. Also bought a small soft-side lunch box to carry my dog's dinner and water in when we go out. Cool place.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Bucees are pretty amazing! Thanks for watching

[@cathybright6211]

Howdy, looks like you stopped at the Buccees that is 2.4 miles from our house in ST Augustine FL. We always enjoy your videos. have fun!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Yes! We did stop at the St. Augustine Buc-ees. Thanks for watching

[@janetfolkerts5827]

I missed Dakota, he is growing up so fast, surely he must have missed the ride and it wasn't this old lady's eyesight. Love you guys! THANK YOU for sharing.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Dakota was feeling under the weather this week so he was mostly in bed….

[@llowery1276]

I wish Buccees had separate pumps for RVs. Last time we were at the one in Robertsdale Al, the people with RVs took up both spaces at the pumps, and would go inside and leave their rvs parked at the pumps. It made it a long waiting game for those of us in regular vehicles. Its just something they should consider. Especially in heavy tourist destinations like the beach, or Smokies. That was on a day when everyone was heading home. And we literally waited in line for 30 minutes to leave the gas pumps. Its a fact though, you cannot get out of there without paying over 100.00 😂.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Agree it’s hard to get out of there for less than $100 😂

[@rictrout]

Wow great video

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thank you!

[@brendagalligan7891]

It's nice to see that you're still RV'ing! I'm more of a seasonal viewer, since we don't travel in the winter (yet!!), so it's been a while. You have such great ideas & information. We've had 2 camping trips so far this summer & have 3 more b-4 winter gets here! Your kids have grown so much since the last time I viewed a post! It looks like the adventures are still going well for all of you & that's wonderful! I can't wait until my hubby & I retire & start RV'ing so much more! Safe travels! 🏕💗

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for tuning back in! Safe travels during your summer!

[@pammullin2160]

Gibbetts are what the Croc accessories are called. (Not sure of the spelling)

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Don't you just *love* the sound of a good running diesel engine? I know I do.

[@k_enn]

My wife loves Cracker Barrel, and I don't mind dry camping for a night when travelling (usually at a Bass Pro Shop). Sadly, I had a mishap with my Class A and the water pump is out of commission. No overnights at Cracker Barrell for a while.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Oh no! Hope you’re back up and running soon.

[@christinapittsley786]

We love Buc-cees! I was just wondering if they had croc buttons and I needed to look the next time we go! What section did you find them in?

[@raysun2be]

Hi from Newport Tn! I love Cracker Barrel but usually end up there for lunch or dinner. 😊 Gatlinburg isn't exactly a hidden gem, lol. Enjoyed the video and looking forward to what hidden gems you show in next week's video!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks! We found some places in the area we loved!

[@k_enn]

You said you are going to the Great Smokey Mountains. I spent time there in my younger years. If you have any interest in antique or vintage motorcycles, I would highly recommend a stop at Wheels Through Time in Maggie Valley.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@teressarenslow5992]

Did you get Alaska some bacon from Cracker Barrel? He's such a good dog!

[@GratefulGlamper]

We got him some sausage this time 😝

[@jasoncarpp7742]

I've never heard of *Buc-ee's* before.

[@GratefulGlamper]

They are a pretty amazing stop!

[@jasoncarpp7742]

@@GratefulGlamper How many are there around the country? Where is this one?

[@daydreamer0923]

Hey guys, 👋🙂 I can't wait to see what you do. 😊. A very pretty daughter. Your kids are the coolest 😲. Honest, they have such creative personalities and of course strong family character. Just saying. 💯

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thank you! 💙

[@SpykersB]

The Bucees store, anytime someone shows them, they always look so nutty busy! Canada doesn't have em. Don't u find those straw type mats track in little pieces of straw? How's yours holding up? 🍻

[@GratefulGlamper]

So far so good! It’s always busy inside of Bucees, people love it and they have the best sandwich’s

[@sandymanning8744]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sandrajordan3802]

I don’t like the nuggets but love the chicken fajitas.

[@GratefulGlamper]

We’ve not tried the fajitas - something to try next time!

[@adventuresofMomDadGirlWhiteDog]

Love Bucc-ees!! 🦫 My daughter said she has to have those croc charms! 😂 She’s almost 12 and looks right around your daughter’s age. Great shopping partners! ❤

[@chipsrafferty8362]

Buccees is not RV friendly,just want your money……give the love to LOVES
