Question of the Week, "Have you had a great experience in the Smokies that you would like to share? If so, we would love to hear about it."
Last week's question, "Do you have a special tradition (a secret spot, or a restaurant you have to eat at) for your vacation to Pigeon Forge?"
K. West wrote, "Everytime we come to Pigeon Forge, we always have rubber duckies for the kids with their names on them and let them throw their own duck in the river somewhere and watch them go. The kids look forward to this every time we come. Also, we have to visit Cades Cove, no trip is complete without it!"
Sharon wrote, "We always have to eat at Bennetts restaurant in Gatlinburg for breakfast, lunch, and dinner when at the Smokeys. We have been eating there since they opened years ago. It is a tradition with us."
Joyce and Cheryl wrote, "My friend and I always try to make the Dollywood parade and the first of Nov. for the Christmas lights each year. We love to wonder thru the Christmas Shop and look at all the Christmas stuff.Our favorite restaurants are the Old Mill and the Apple Barn for breakfast. Anything you order, no matter what, is so tasty and the environment is just wonderful. Love to watch the ducks and visit the old general.The Apple Barn is good also and love to visit the little shops. Especially the bakery. We spend a day in Cades Cove looking for deer, bear and turkeys. They never disappoint us. The brooks are so relaxing just to sit and watch. The Smokies are just beautiful no matter when and we all should feel lucky we live near them and can visit." |

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  It is absolutely beautiful right now in the Smokies! The mountains are full of color and they're finally making their way down to the lower elevations. Last weekend we had a rare occurrance, a little bit of snowfall of the tops of the mountains. Although it wasn't much at all it was the first snowfall of the season here in the Pigeon Forge area. While the fall leaves are starting to make their way to the peak colors a great way to come enjoy this beautiful time of year is visit the Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival! It only lasts until the 31st, so times running out!
