WEEKEND IN PIGEON FORGE

It's not often that I get to go on extended trips during the holidays, so a weekend in Tennessee was an exciting prospect.  My mom and I got the opportunity to spend a weekend in Pigeon Forge, and we had a lovely time all by ourselves.  It's a very tourist-y city, but it has such a cheerful and bustling atmosphere--even more so during the holidays.

While maneuvering along all of those windy mountain roads, it was hard not to notice the beautiful scenery everywhere.  If you love nature, I'd definitely suggest taking one of the scenic roads through the national park.  There are some gorgeous photo opportunities.

The city itself--although crowded--is the perfect place to find an exciting new activity (or showcase a new favorite sweater).  My mom and I really enjoyed the Titanic Museum (if you're a history buff or just a movie fan, you'll really enjoy it, too).  The attention to detail was amazing, and the replica of the Grand Staircase was breathtaking.

I think our favorite part of the trip was simply glimpsing all of the ornate Christmas light displays.  If you're trying to get yourself into the holiday spirit, look no further.

Sometimes, a perfect mix between the hustle of holiday shopping and the serenity of nature is all a girl really needs.

How was your weekend?

Love,
Tori
