Road trip! We recently packed up the family van and spent a week in Gatlinburg, TN, with the kids and Caroline's parents. 

In this episode of the Craft Parenting Podcast, we discuss our family adventures during our trip, which included:

  • Klingman's Dome – The highest point in Tennessee.
  • Dolly's Stampede – The world’s most visited dinner show attraction.
  • Dollywood – A family amusement park nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.
  • Anakeesta – An outdoor family adventure park for all ages in the beauty of the Smoky Mountains.
  • Tuckaleechee Caverns – A massive cave/cavern system and tourist attraction located in Townsend, TN.
  • Cades Cove – A popular 11-mile one-way loop road that encircles a scenic valley that provides access to hiking trails, opportunities for wildlife viewing, and chances to explore the many historic homesites, cemeteries, and churches. NOTE: There are no electric car charging stations along this path.
