gatlinburg

With Lights Over Gatlinburg open through January 31st and, perhaps, a smaller crowd since we're just past the holidays, maybe a quick trip to the Smokies is in order.

Christmas lights "turn on" my holiday spirit. I'd imagine taking this tour of Gatlinburg and the Smokies might blow out a couple of bulbs.

If you're still shoring up your holiday travel plans, take a look at the Christmas events and attractions the Smoky Mountains have in store for you.

Lights Over Gatlinburg is set to begin in mid-November and will provide visitors with impeccable views of one of the nation's top tourist destinations.

Obviously, you don't mess with bears. But in Gatlinburg, steer clear of prank-loving raccoons, too. Don't tell ME they don't know what they're doing.

These two made everyone around them, during their hour wait, in a long line of traffic, feel much better. Thanks to Kaylee, we can ALL enjoy it now.

Gatlinburg is most famous for all the different attractions all over the town.  You always expect to see at least one bear while visiting the mountains but they seem to keep the element of surprise and pop up in the craziest places.
Bears are inching closer and closer to the population of visito…

Luby's was a family tradition for us when we'd visit my aunt in Texas. And on a couple of visits to Fuddruckers, I found the pride they have in their amazing burgers proved to be quite justified.

Unlike most people who've visited Gatlinburg, I have never seen a bear when I've been there. And I certainly don't want to see one in THIS type of setting.

Gatlinburg knows how to entertain in the fall. And they have lined up some amazing festivals and events befitting the best season of the year.

The SkyBridge at Gatlinburg's SkyLift Park is America's longest suspended pedestrian bridge.  Thousands upon thousands of people take the journey across it each year.  Now, they are bringing about a new addition to allow even more ways to enjoy the view...

Food is probably at the top of our priority list when it comes to vacation requirements.  We make sure to eat at non-chain restaurants or hole in the wall joints because they are the best.  We found a pizza place in downtown Gatlinburg that's a slice of pizza heaven...
