Patsy writes, "My daughter got married in Gatlinburg in December of 2007. We were snowboarding on a snow covered road in the national park when my daughter (the bride) was heading for a tree. Her husband just started hollering tree-tree-tree and at the time it was so funny because she couldn't stop and no one could get to her. She also lost her shoe in this ordeal.  We love the Smokies so much we bought a place there and go every 5 weeks when our job allows and in the summer all our grand kids (9) come to enjoy the summer. We always have a gang when we go. We hope to retire there someday!"

 

Renee says, "It would have to be when our luggage flew off the top of our van. That's an experience I'd rather not go through again. But it sure was funny after the initial shock of it flying everywhere."

Donna wrote, "My daughter and I were on vacation, along with friends.  We had been out riding in the mountains and upon returning to the motel, I fell.  I was getting out of the back seat and my foot got caught on the seatbelt.  It was a two door car and the front seatbelt attached to the back of the door frame.  My shoe caught the seatbelt and down I went.  My elbow caught the door and my arm went over my head and came back down.  There were SEVERAL people sitting on the balconies  who witnessed my gracefulness.  I had to sit in the car to keep from passing out.  I was unable to raise my arm, but refused to go to the hospital there.  I drove home the next day, (one handed) and went to the hospital in our hometown the following day.  The x-ray confirmed what I thought, I broke my arm.  So, I fell out of a car and broke my arm while vacationing in Pigeon Forge.  I wanted to tell everyone I was climbing the Chimney tops, rafting the Little Pigeon or wrestling a bear, but no, I just fell out of a parked car."
