I need a vacation from being on vacation..........

Not sure if that makes sense.  However, I am really tired now I am back home.  We were busier than normal when away, and you know when you're not sleeping in your own bed, you don't get as good a nights sleep.  Plus all homes/cabins/rooms/houses make different noises, so if you're a light sleeper, you can't quite settle.

Then when you get back, you have to catch up with daily life.  The grass was to cut, the garden to tidy up.  Laundry to catch up with.  Banking to catch up on.  Grocery shopping to do.  Everything to put away from the vacation; and on and on it goes.

We ended up coming home a day earlier.  I was not well.  My poor stomach was so upset.  We find the food very rich down south.  Mind you no one forced me to eat poorly!!!!

We were to leave on the Thursday but we had a rough night Tuesday night with acid reflux, me especially.  So much so we decided to head on home on Wednesday and stay overnight in Ohio again.

Here is some of the bad food choices we made!!

This was at Cracker Barrel and was actually not a bad choice, minus the biscuits with lashings of butter on them!!

This was hubby's plate of food from the Museum of Appalachia.  He left the green beans, as they were cooked within an inch of their lives he said!!
Mine was chicken noodle casserole, corn casserole and fried cabbage with a piece of sour dough bread.  The chicken casserole was like mac and cheese with some chicken and veggies in it.  It was very heavy.  The corn casserole was like a dead weight as well, left most of that.  The fried cabbage was not great.  Even the sour dough bread was odd.  It was the worst meal of the vacation.
We went to Dollywood and bought the tasting pass, which gave you five "meals or drinks" for a set price.  I will talk about this more when I do my post on Dollywood.  So the next three photos are what we got and none were healthy choices.

This was a kielbasa sausage skillet and a stuffed sweet potato with chicken and collard greens and fried onions and that white stuff was gravy I think.

A funnel cake.
A hot honey chicken pizza and garlic knot bread.
Then this I think is the meal that broke the camel's back as they say.  We had this on Tuesday lunchtime at the Cracker Barrel.  Again I think it was the biscuits with lashings of butter on them that did it.  Cracker Barrel has the best biscuit's/scones.  They are warm and fluffy, and oh so good!!

Suffice to say; I hardly ate anything on Wednesday nor on Thursday.  Friday I make chicken, carrots and some rice for supper, as by then my stomach was finally settling down..........



Now back to sensible eating!!
