Breakfast in the great smokies on Monday July the 31st

The Schnackenberger Meisterbergers (And Missesbergers) would like to invite you to their condo for a breakfast feast on the Monday morning of our vacation which happens to fall on the 31st of July.

Hmm. Wonder what they'll serve or what time they will serve it? Details follow soon they will.

Sevierville 2017 - Migas, Mimosas and Jesus

Hey all y'all!  We are so close to vacation in Tenn we can almost taste it.  So at this time we'd like to officially invite everyone to our condo for Sunday morning (July 30th) Migas, Mimosas and Jesus. 

Migas (mee-gas) are a Tex-Mex scrambled egg dish loaded with yummy goodness - and in our little family one of the best things about them is Matt does the cooking!  ;) 

Look for a start time of 9 am.  Bring your appetites and your Bible apps!

Sevierville 2017 - Dollywood info

FYI - Dollywood has two parks (an amusement park and a water park) in Pigeon Forge, TN.  This is adjacent to Sevierville.

They are having their longest hours of the year at both parks while we are there (10 to 10 a the amusement park and 10 to 7 at the water park).

They have specials for the summer.

We're thinking of doing the 3 days, 2 parks deal for our family.

There's always something new in the Smoky Mountains, and this year is no different. Check out these five can't-miss experiences that are all new for 2017.

5) "30: Celebrating Dolly in Bronze" Exhibit
This exhibit celebrates the 30th anniversary of downtown Sevierville's Dolly Parton statue as well as the artist who created it and the icon it represents. The exhibit can be seen at the Sevierville Visitor Center, 3099 Winfield Dunn Parkway in Kodak, Admission is free. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

4) Tino & Vino
Sipping wine and painting are popular to-do options for a night out, but you don't often get to follow the brush strokes of an acclaimed artist. The third Thursday of each month, famed regional artist Robert A. Tino hosts "Tino & Vino" at Courthouse Donuts. The price of admission gets you dinner, dessert and art supplies.

3) Sevier Air Trampoline & Ninja Warrior Park
It's more than your average trampoline park. Sure, there are plenty of springy surfaces in this 38,000-square-foot space, but you'll also find trampoline dodgeball courts, foam pits, a three-story net system for kids ages 2-10, a junior Ninja Warrior course and a real-deal Ninja Warrior course just like what you see on TV.

2) New Dollywood Rides
Dollywood is offering up not one, but two new rides during the 2017 season. The park officially opened for the season on March 18, but the rides, including Drop Line, a 200-foot tall free fall experience, and Whistle Punk Chaser, a new junior coaster, will both open this summer.

1) Burgeoning Downtown Sevierville
The area is growing and expanding with new shops, restaurants and events. From the free "Movies at the Commons" to the Bloomin' BBQ & Bluegrass festival to Bruce Street Brewfest, there's always something fun happening in Downtown Sevierville.

How a blog (and blog posts) are structured

A blog is a collection of blog posts.

A author can publish a new blog post.  In our blog - anyone can comment on a blog post.
Most recent blog posts are displayed "on top".
The "home page" of a blog (in our case https://weseloh-vacation.blogspot.com/) will display the most recently posted blog post.

That Blog Archive calendar is just one way that all the posts are grouped and organized so you can find them.  The Older Posts link is another.

Here is the structure of a blog (our blog in particular) and how things are organized.

Wrong Link

I posted an incorrect link to our Wyndham in Sevierville. Sevierville has several Wyndhams! So I have deleted that comment on the Links blog page. If you never saw it, good for you! The only correct link for our resort is at the very top of the Links page. Please forgive me if I have misled y'all.

Sevierville 2017 - Estimate of Condo costs

Howdy!

We've been asked for an estimate of the condo costs for the 2017 Sevierville vacation.

Right now it looks like it will be between $80-100 per person for the week.
Plan for $100 and hopefully we can pleasantly surprise you and have it be a little less.

In the interest of transparency - here's a link to the Google Spreadsheet where I'm "doing the math".

Let me know if you have any questions.
Send an email to my hp.com email address (matt.weseloh) if you want the fastest response.
