18 Thoughts you Have in Pigeon Forge, TN (and surrounding areas)
Motel 6 Pigeon Forge

1. Does Ripley's own everything around here?

There's the Ripley's Aquarium, the Believe it or not place, Old MacDonald's Farm Mini Golf, Davy Crockett Mini Golf, and a movie theater! You name it, and the Ripley name is probably on it.

2. It costs HOW much to do that? Well, I guess if you do a combo, that's a deal.

Seriously, some of these attractions are pricey.

3. (While cruising the parkway) Is this what deja vu is like??

When I visit Sevier County, I feel like the whole town repeats itself every 5 miles.

4. Let's get old-time photos made!

They are really cute, and pictures are fun.

5. Who's up for go-kart races? What about putt-putt?

Pick a theme and go for it! There are so many tracks and courses to choose from!

6. How in the world do all these Christmas stores stay open year-round?

It's a Christmas miracle, I guess.

7. Is it really moonshine if it's legal?

In my personal opinion, no. Definitely not. If you can buy it in broad daylight, it's not MOONshine. This stuff is a disgrace.

8. Fudge, flapjacks, and fun. That's Gatlinburg.

Should I add flannel for the Lumberjack Dinner show? Whatever, we are definitely getting fudge for dessert afterward.

9. So much chocolate, so many smells, so many lights.

Seriously, my senses are a little overloaded. Between the flashing signs, fair food smells, and abundance of things to see, my brain is frazzled.

10. Whoa! So, that's how taffy is made.

That's pretty cool. I could watch it spin forever.

11. If you like beef jerky, this is the town for you.

Y'all, there are 4, yes 4, Beef Jerky Outlets in Sevier County. Meat-lovers rejoice!

12. I thought those $9.99 or less stores were only for, like, party beach towns. I guess I thought wrong.

Wait, am I at the beach? No, there's the mountains. Hmm. Okay then.

13. I mean, I've always heard that dinner was better with a show, but which one??

The Dixie Stampede, Hatfields and McCoys, Lumberjack Feud, and the Comedy Barn all sound fun!

14. Jesus, Elvis, bears, food, rides, crafts, sex stores, this place has it all!

There really is something for everyone here. You will find whatever you are looking for.

15. But seriously, why are there SO many sex stores? Just why?

Half the town is loving Jesus, and the other loves this "stuf".

16. Ooohhh a drive-in chapel. Let's get married.

No, wait. Yeah, you're right. Let's not.

17. Let's head to the cabin and relax awhile.

The rockers are comfy, and the Smokies are breathtaking. Take it all in while you rock and sip on some sweet tea.

18. This is a cool place. Let's come back!

All jokes aside, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg are all pretty neat places. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
