Gatlinburg, TN

We took our summer vacation to Gatlinburg, TN. My parents and sister and her family all traveled in 2 vehicles for 10 hours for this fantastic vacation. We had a great cabin with plenty of room for 11 people! Our cabin included three bedrooms and 3.5 baths a great game room in the basement that the kids loved and a hottub! We packed our days full everyday that we were there. Some of the things on our agenda included horseback riding, Hillbilly Mini golf, Ripley's Aquarium, and the most breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains the views were from the top of the mountain in Ober Gatlinburg. We had to take a tram ride up to Ober and then a ski lift to the top. It was amazing! We did manage to get in some time at the pool which we all had fun playing in. Gatlinburg at night was fun to see. It is such a busy town! Everynight we would take the trolley to Gatlinburg ( about a 5 min. trip) and walk the town and shop of course:) It was very hot there the week we went so evening trips were much more bearable. Natalie did a great job keeping up with the group. The older kids were so excited just to be taking in all the sights. It was a wirlwind vacation but definetly something I would do again.

We went to the Gatlinburg area with our youth group when I was in High School and you're right, it is a busy town. I'm glad you guys had such a good time and the kids did so well.
