    Thanks for the memories~ spent my honeymoon in 1965 in Gatlinburg, even was on the old sky lift. Now I am 78 and can enjoy all the wonder of a Gatlinburg Christmas through your eyes~ Love it~💖

      My sister and one of my sister in laws got married in Gatlinburg too. When my sister got married we were head up the mountain and was snowing. That was the most beautiful time I've ever been in the mountains as when it snowed that day.

If that wouldn’t put you in the Christmas spirit, I don’t know what would. Also I just wanted to say, Dawn had me laughing at her when she got the giggles. I was beginning to think maybe she had found some mountain moonshine! 😂

    I haven't been on it yet, but the bridge in Michigan is the world's longest timber-tower suspension bridge and it is owned by the same company that owns the one in Gatlinburg. Boyne is the owner, the one in Michigan is up by Boyne Mountain. It is called Skybridge Michigan.

    My first trip to the Smokies in 1964 as a 9 year old small town boy, Christis Gardens was amazing to me. I had never seen anything like it. Also, our motel in Pigeon Forge had a coffee-maker on the wall. My brother and I were amazed and begged our parents to let us make coffee for them.
    So much of traveling in the Smokies is about remembering experiences with others when enjoying past trips with family or friends.
    Oh, and we rode this chair-lift! And had caramel corn and a caramel apple.
