Socially Responsible Traveling for 2020

Image
Smoky Mountain rental cabins have always been a economically and socially responsible choice for vacation! The cabins in the Smokies always seemed to be booked which is a sign of the importance they hold to the tourist community here.

Every once in a while, it is fun for my wife and I to pretend to be tourists.  Lots of other locals do this - Why should our beloved tourists get to have all the fun?  Today, we took a day off from Gatlinburg real estate marketing and instead took two of our three grandchildren to Dollywood.  If you have never visited Dollywood, or haven't in a long time, you really should come and see what all the fuss is about.  As the single largest commercial draw in our Smoky Mountains, Dollywood entertains a tremendous number of people each year and today was no different.  After opening last weekend to a huge crowd, Dollywood was again busy today but the lines were bearable and the weather, although a touch cool, was very pretty.  Here's my list of things not to miss if you do decide to visit Dollywood: Ride the train!  As one of the few working coal-fired steam engine trains in the United States, this is a real treat and the 20 minute ride is included in the pr...
