If something we learn can make your trip easier, cheaper, or more fun, I’m sharing it here! 🙌

Whether you’re traveling with toddlers, teens, or a whole crew like we sometimes do..you’re in the right place.

📍Follow along as we explore, road trip, and make memories As We Travel.

Dollywood just made a BIG change to one of their most famous treats! 🍞✨

If you’ve ever been to Dollywood, you know the legendary Cinnamon Bread from the Grist Mill is a must-have. Guests literally line up for it every day!

But now there’s a brand new option…

👉 No Sugar Added Cinnamon Bread is officially on the menu!
It’s made with Splenda and Monk Fruit, giving guests a lower-sugar way to enjoy this iconic Smoky Mountain treat.

And don’t worry… it’s still baked fresh daily and served warm just like the classic version. 🔥

Here’s what you’ll find on the menu:
🍞 Cinnamon Bread & Icing – $12.99
🍞 No Sugar Added Cinnamon Bread – $12.99
🍏 Apple Butter or Extra Icing Cup – $1.59

Now the real question… 👇

Are you trying the No Sugar Added Cinnamon Bread, or are you sticking with the classic original? 🤤

One of the sweetest little surprises from our day at Dollywood yesterday 🍎🎶

We were just walking through the park when we ran into Apple Jack strolling along with his banjo. He stopped, chatted with Mason, and even played us a tune right there in the middle of the walkway.

Moments like that are what make Dollywood so special! The unexpected music, the friendly faces, and the little memories you didn’t plan but will always remember.

If you see Apple Jack in the park, stop and say hi… you might just get your own private banjo concert. ❤️

Life has been moving both fast and slow for me lately. 🤍

Over the last year we became season passholders at Dollywood, and at the same time I’ve been navigating some health stuff that has reminded me just how important it is to slow down and soak in every moment with my family. Because of that, I haven’t been posting much… honestly I haven’t even taken many photos. I’ve just been fully present in the memories.

But now that we have one Dollywood season under our belts (and just started our second!) I’m excited to start sharing our trips, tips, and little moments again. ✨

And… Disney is calling us back this winter. 🏰

So if you’re still here, stick around. Travel tips, Dollywood fun, and Disney magic are coming your way again soon. 💫
