My Tennessee Story

My best girlfriend and I have been friends for almost 30 years. We take at least one weekend trip to Tennessee each year to get away from husbands and family for a “Girls Only” weekend. We have stayed in Nashville, Memphis, Gatlinburg, Knoxville, and Goodletville, Tennessee. We are always pleased with the beautiful scenery, the entertainment events, the historic attractions, the music, the food, the shopping, and most of all the friendly people.

The summer of 2006 was our first one-full-week vacation ever as a family. Our children were 20, 22 & 24. With 3 children in college & or working, a week-long vacation was, first of all, hard to get planned. Also, our sons girlfriend joined us for the trip. We knew we wanted to come to TN. We began our trip by staying in Gatlinburg for 3 days. The cabin we stayed at was amazingly quiet,… Read More

My Tennessee story starts with a family vacation to Gatlinburg in 1996. WOW! I was blown away by its breathtaking beauty. The Smoky Mountains are incredible. We enjoyed that vacation so much that we stayed for 3 weeks, a week longer than orignially planned. I am glad we took this trip because my in-laws enjoyed it so, and it was one of our last trips.

I, however, have been back six more times, both with… Read More

We both loved the malls and all the countryside. The horses and… Read More

My wife and I have vacationed in Tennessee for the last 5 years now. We have enjoyed rides in the General Jackson paddleboat in Nashville. That was a “GREAT” adventure. Those people are the most courteous people there are. The food and entertainment is excellent.

Also we went to the Grand ‘Ol Opry. Again that was “GREAT.” The mall there had a very wide selection of shops and food courts to choose from also.

Every year my family chooses a new spot to go on vacation and, about four years ago, we chose Tennessee. Since then, every year we go back there rather than choosing a new place to visit because we love it so much. On the last visit we stayed at the Gaylord Opry Land Hotel right next to the Grand Ole Opry house. The hotel itself is absolutely amazing, but what made it even better was… Read More

Tennessee’s tapestry of color is stunning year round. With its landscape of hills and valleys, and unique shades of rocks and trees, the breathtaking scenery is outstanding. Glistening sapphire lakes are as intriguing as the stalagmites and stalactites dripping from ceiling to floor in Tennessee’s’ beautiful caves such as Blue Springs and Bull Cave.

My companion and I shared this adventure together, enjoying our freedom on country roads, taking in the panoramic Smoky Mountain view,… Read More
