Katherine...

Hope you have a wonderful trip. My husband and I lived in the Chattanooga area (Cleveland, TN) for eight years. It is absolutely beautiful there.

Hope you don't fall off the "Swinging Bridge" or get stuck in "Fat Man's Squeeze" eek ...Make sure you go to the Chattanooga Aquarium. It is great :D ...Have dinner at the Station House at the Choo Choo. The waiters sing (they actually can sing and it is a lot of fun) lmao ...Take a ride on the Incline scream ...

Chattanooga has done a lot of work on their river front. It looks great. Take a dinner cruise on the river boat. Well worth the time and money.

So much to do there. If you do everything, you won't get much rest...So, just have fun. lmao

Oops...

According to "Prayer Requests", looks like Katherine left this morning before I posted this. Oh well... :D

I have a 2night stay free at Gatlinburg at the Sunspree Resort when I get to where I feel like going.Has anyone ever been there?

[SharonA]

Patticake...

Well here I go, again. :rolleyes: From the sound of it, you would think I work in the travel business. Not so...

Like I said above, we lived in Southeast Tennessee for eight years and traveled all over that area. That includes Gatlinburg. It is a very nice place to spend a couple of days. The Smokey Mountains are beautiful. If you get up there, make sure you stop in Pidgin Forge (outlet shopping mecca). :D

Where in Tennessee are you? We are now in the Memphis area.

I'm in Cookville, I work for Holiday Inn and I won a door prize at our Christmas party last year for the stay at Sunspree. I have to use it pretty soon or it expires.

Patticake,
I'm just 45min. from Gatlinburg. Less than that from the mountains.
It's soooo nice. Especially, like Sharon said, if you like to shop. Tons of different restaurants. Bring comfy shoes. It's best to park and walk to all the different places. Sometimes hubby and I drive up there just to get a funnel cake.

Katherine are you back yet?? Hope you had fun!!
Hugs,
Jaime

We just went to Gatlinburg w/ the kids in April. It is so beautiful! :) We stayed in a really nice cabin on Ski Mountain. There are tons and tons of cute shops there. We loved the Christmas Village in Pigeon Forge. Also, in Sevierville there is the Apple Barn----really neat. I'd definitely go again(but I'd choose to fly next time b/c it's nearly 900 miles from here!) :)

Alyson,
Did you try the chicken salad at the Apple Barn?
I haven't been there in years but it was delicious back then.

Jaime, I didn't have chicken salad, but those apple fritters are to die for, aren't they? wink I love that area~ I'd move there in a heartbeat!
