Gatlinburg Again

After our time in Arkansas and a drive through Tennessee, we ended up back in Sevierville (southeast of Knoxville) although at a different park than we'd visited in May.  While the first park was okay, this park was much better and the back section where we stayed was pretty empty.

It rained nearly the entire time we were there but we found a dry(ish) day and decided to take a drive to Gatlinburg so we could see how the town was decorated.  Remember, we'd been here for Cinco de Mayo.  You can read about it HERE.

The city wasn't too decked out but there were a lot of 'friends' around town that made me smile.

Cookie, anyone?

Mom getting a break.

Twins!

As we walked around I noticed lots of other friends - some were decorated for Christmas.

I have no idea what this guy was doing in a restaurant.

Some of the shops were interesting.  Too bad this sign had the name of the top garage spelled incorrectly.

These could be special ordered so if we had a garage, we could have had one made

Somehow I think with this game, we know who did it every single time.

This is probably a popular attraction in the summer.  But NO WAY would I go up there!

They claim this provides the best views in Gatlinburg

When you get to the top, you can walk across the SkyBridge, the longest cable bridge in North America.  See the people up there?

NO THANK YOU!

It turned out there were more Christmas decorations than we'd seen when we first got there.

Since we never made it back to the Moonshine store the last time we were there, we made a point of stopping there on the way back.  Not just Moonshine but Vodka!

We loved listening to the music even though we didn't hear any Christmas music.

And there it was - the Moonshine Cherries!

Yes, we bought a jar this time

By now it was starting to rain so we decided to hit the road and get back to our trailer.  Santa wished us a Merry Christmas on the way out of town.
