This past week, our family enjoyed a few days of time away (a much needed vacation after a pretty stressful month).  We headed down to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg in TN - what a great time!
We enjoyed Pigeon Forge - (though "customer service" seemed to have been a forgotten term after a long summer of tourists...) but we LOVED Gatlinburg (where they definitely hadn't forgotten...).

On our last full day we took a zipline tour through the Smoky Mountains courtesy of Climbworks Canopy Tours (http://www.climbworkscanopy.com).  What a fantastic 2.5 hours!  We all couldn't say enough about how much we enjoyed it.  It wasn't "scary" - though the jeep ride to the top of the mountain definitely had its moments :)

If you're ever in the area - I would highly recommend these guys.  Professional, safe, courteous, and really nice people... a great experience through and through.
