Dirty Dancing at Mountain Lake

How many of you have seen the movie Dirty Dancing? I confess that it is one of my very favorite movies. It was filmed at Mountain Lake, which isn't very far from where I live. Once a year, we take my parents for the Sunday brunch.

I wanted to take pictures to share with you, but I also was trying to help my Mom and Dad. So ~ not too many pictures.

The brunch starts with cheeses and fresh fruit. Then there is a big salad of fresh greens and a seafood salad of some kind. Side dishes included mozzarella and tomato slices, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, and asparagus. Meats included pork tenderloin, some type of fish (I don't eat fish so that's all I can tell you about it.), roast beef, and ham that was so delicious. There was also an omelet station but I was too busy eating the other food. (There were more selections, but I can't remember them.)


This was my second helping. hahaha Can you tell how good that ham tasted from the picture?




I chose these miniature cheesecakes to tempt my Mom. Before I could say anything to her, she took the one with the chocolate chips on top ~ that I really had my eye on ~ and popped it in her mouth!



This is a chocolate mousse that tastes as good as it looks.





Funny thing about the smoothies. My hubby got one first. Then we all decided to try them.


If you look closely, my parents are trying to share a smoothie. They're laughing because the straw is about to go up Mom's nose. They are so cute. After I took this picture, she kept leaning towards him so he would kiss her.


These next pictures are in a glass showcase in the lobby. I'm sure you'll remember them from the movie.












I tried to get a few pictures as we were leaving. Notice the lake. Two summers ago, it was completely dry. We thought it would be much higher this summer after all the recent rain, but it still is very low.



This is one of the cabins. Sometime I'd like to stay there.


Did you see the giant chess board and pieces in the above picture? There is also a giant set of checkers.



We plan to go again in October when the leaves are changing.

Are you a fan of the movie Dirty Dancing? (I started to leave out the word movie, but after teaching middle school for 10 years - I can tell you there is an entirely new way of dancing that we called dirty dancing. Ewwww.
