Since our kids are getting older, we’ve taken a different approach to travel. It used to be “go where we want to go and hope the kids can handle it and have fun and not make the trip miserable.” But now that they are in kindergarten and third grade, we have a new approach. It’s [...]

September 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Even though tourism is a huge industry in the Smokies, it can be hard to find information. That’s why I work so hard to keep you in the loop on what’s happening in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the surrounding areas. In fact, I keep an eye on almost 70 blogs about the area (many are [...]
Chain Restaurants in Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge
September 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I know, most people go on vacation to try the local flavor. They want to know all about the locally-owned restaurants. They want something different and original and unique. But some people are more comfortable with what they know. I’ve written time and time again about the locally-owned spots. But I’ve never written about the [...]

I play a mean game of mini golf. Last week, I legitimately almost beat my husband (one measly stroke…). Mini golf, I enjoy. But real golf? Well, that’s out of my realm. But my husband is a maniac. He played in high school. He plays still. It’s one of his favorite ways to bring himself [...]
PIZZA! in the Smoky Mountain Area
June 3, 2011 By 4 Comments
Nothing says, “Vacation” like PIZZA, right? (Picture me saying PIZZA in a deep, rumbly voice.) Nothing says, “Party night” or “No responsibilities” or “No, we’re not going to worry about getting our daily dose of veggies in” like PIZZA! So I thought that pizza warranted a post. That’s right, this is where you look if [...]

Here it goes — 40 attractions available in Pigeon Forge: Adventure Golf Description — “Play mini-golf amid rushing waterfalls and an old [...]
