I just got home last night from a weekend trip to Pigeon Forge with my friend Gina, and we had a ball over the past few days enjoying all of the beautiful scenery, some great meals, and much shopping.
Here, we're at The Old Mill, the restaurant at the historic mill that's a popular tourist attraction. I was delighted to be able to get an Arnold Palmer with my meal at most places, including this one!
In addition to the fall leaves, the flowers there were just beautiful!
We also visited The Christmas Place, and to call it a Christmas shop is quite an understatement. The place was sensory overload with all of its trees, lights, ornaments, ribbons, and Christmas decorations in every theme imaginable. I finally told Gina we should probably quit counting how many times I said "wow" while we were in there!
This giant snow globe was only one of the magical pieces on display.
And it was absolutely impossible to see everything in the place, but this Peppermint Tea Shop from Department 56 definitely caught my eye! While I didn't come home with it, I did find several new tea-themed souvenirs (and tea!) on this trip, so I'll be sharing some of those later in the week. First, I need to unpack and get back to work — sigh!
I’m so glad you could enjoy the weekend away. I’ll look forward to reading more about it in the coming days.
