Breaking protocol and posting some digital photos from our 2018 Smoky Mountain vacation! I shoot film when I travel, and that goes for when I go on vacation to the Smoky Mountains with my family. However, I take a digital camera for one portion of our trip: the aquarium. My brother-in-law loves aquariums and ocean life. The walls in his office and covered with photos I’ve taken at aquariums we visit. He’s been asked where he bought his wall art from, and the answer is: it’s MY work!
But why am I talking about the aquarium but posting photos of breakfast? Because the day we went o the Ripley’s Aquarium, we dined at the Pancake Pantry nearby. For people who have never visited the Pigeon Forge area, there are pancake restaurants EVERYWHERE. Seriously. We have never eaten at one before though! The wait times can be really long, and we just do the frugal thing by eating breakfast at the hotel (usually involving a hostile takeover of the waffle making station!) I was so pleased we had the chance go to Pancake Pantry in downtown Gatlinburg. I had my digital camera with me, and the lens I’d just gotten was perfect for some pretty food photography 🙂 The restaurant had a warm atmosphere, and I was happy we had been seated near windows that gave me nice lighting for photos.

(Maybe I’ll post some of the aquarium picstures next?)
These beautifully made breakfast platings, did not disappoint. The glowing recommendations, from friends, were spot on.
As Amanda says, we usually eat breakfast at the motel. Thanks God. Thanks Jason. You work to make this mini vacation. In more than one way!!!!!
