If you have had the pleasure of enjoying domestic gems like Orlando, Las Vegas or Las Angeles, then you know how much fun these attractions can be and you may also know how expensive and rigorous it can be to get there.
If you live in Nashville, TN all of the above destinations are a flight away. Of course one could drive (if they really wanted to), but the time commitment would be massive.
Consider an alternative. "The key to budget travel is to plan ahead. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the truth of cost and budgeting is generally in the back of our heads. Preparation and spending our travel budget wisely is a main concern for most families. Minimizing consuming and fees, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured achievements and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding protecting money while touring is simple: Even if your personal finances is incredibly small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel costs!..". Right here in the state of Tennessee is a diamond in the rough; a place with some of the thrill of Orlando, the lights of Vegas and the beautiful weather of L.A. This place is none other than Gatlinburg, TN. If you have never visited before or if it has been ages since you have gone, give it a try as your next family vacation spot.
When one thinks of Gatlinburg they usually think of mountains, scenic views, maybe even skiing in the winter. But Gatlinburg for summer time vacation fun? Absolutely! It has got it all.
Here are just a few reasons to consider Gatlinburg for your next summer vacation:
Proximity - if you live in Nashville or surrounding areas, Gatlinburg is a very easy, uneventful, 3.5 hours away. The drive is smooth with many scenic changes on the way. The speed limit is a comfortable 70 miles per hour for most of the trip. And if you just want to make a pit stop in between, there are several outlets, and flea markets on the way.
Affordability we all know that the economy is slowly improving, but every penny still counts. A family of 4 (mom, dad and kids) can make for an expensive plane ride to just about anywhere (even on highly competitive airlines like Southwest). A drive is the answer for many families these days. Nashville to Gatlinburg in the family SUV takes less than half a tank of gas on average.
Versatility - the activities vary once you arrive at your destination in Gatlinburg. Wisely and strategically placed, Gatlinburg sits at the end of a winding drive through Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and a beautiful lush park giving many activities to participate in from amusement parks, to putt-putt golf, to dinner shows, to museums, to swimming. The list goes on and on.
Lodging if money is an issue, but you still want to do something special this summer, unlike other vacations that are farther away from home, you could just take a day trip and come back home and avoid incurring lodging fees all together. At most, you could spring for one of the affordable hotels that sit in the midst of the action for one night only making your visit a two day trip with only one day of hotel expenses. As an added bonus, many hotels are right beside the favored attractions which means you can save a little gas and walk to all your desired destinations.
Gatlinburg and surrounding attractions have a lot to offer and make for a wonderful weekend getaway for the family or a weeklong vacation alternative to some popular but farther away and much more expensive family destinations.
Stay tuned for a run down on Ripleys in Gatlinburg and dissect Dolly's dinner show.
