After another great night's sleep we spent the morning relaxing.  Today we definitely needed to work out so we decided to do our Yoga stretching here in the cabin and then drive in to the community center in Pidgeon Forge to work out.  The LeConte Wellness Center is a huge complex with an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a full-service gym and tons of aerobic equipment.  There are also three basketball courts, a racketball court, an indoor walking track and childcare.  It is an amazing place and the residents only pay an $80.00 YEARLY membership fee.  What a deal!  We spent about an hour and a half there and we all had a great workout.  

For dinner, David grilled Johnny Ray and me a rib eye steak and veggie burgers for him.  I also made a huge sheet pan of roasted vegetables.  It was a very good dinner.  During our dinner conversation we happened to discuss a book that I loved called "Wild," which was made into a movie staring Reese Witherspoon.  It is the true story of a woman who had had a very hard life and decided to change her life by hiking the Pacific Coast Trail.  She had never hiked a day in her life before this so you can imagine all the pitfalls she encountered. Johnny Ray and I had seen the movie but David had not so we spent the evening watching it.  Such a good book and movie and I recommend both if you haven't read/seen them.  

We stayed up a little late but finally went to bed around 11:00.
