Southern Fried Culture

We've been exposing Steve to Southern culture.

Mom, Dad, Steve, and I attended the Dixie Stampede in Pigeon Forge last night. The Dixie Stampede is a dinner show event, complete with Christmas elves, camels, trick riders, and an entire chicken for each audience member which must be eaten with hands (no utensils allowed). Dolly Parton guarantees it as a good time.

Before attending the Dixie Stampede, we drove through Pigeon Forge and made all of Steve's childhood dreams come true by finding him Cooter's Place, a Dukes of Hazzard museum, where he had his picture taken in the General Lee. The General Lee!

Oh, yeah, and Steve found Dr. Pepper in the glass bottle (still bottled at the original plant in TX). And there was an awesome place called the Donut Friar.

They're on Steve's camera. He'll have to post them on Facebook or send them to me so I can add them to the post. They're pretty fantastic.

Steve always liked "The Dukes". He and his buddy Shane would watch them. Shane was the greater fan and I don't think he ever missed and episode.
Dolly will be glad you liked the show. Steve seems to acquired a taste for Dr. Pepper. Merry Christmas.

I've been to Pigeon Forge and was not at all prepared for the spectacle.
