Does anyone know about Gatlinburg?

Yes, "Gatlinburg" is such an adorable name! It is a small town which is located in between the big Smoky mountains of Tennessee. On my trip of the 4th of July 2007, I got a chance to go to Kentucky to visit my girlfriend. Actually, visiting Gatlinburg was not on my plan. Because of I had free time all day on 4th of July before sunset, so my friend and I drove from Lexington, KY to Gatlinburg, TN. It was about 3-4 hours driving, but we did have so much fun.

We arrived around noon. We couldn't find any parking because a lot of tourists came here to see the fireworks at night. 20 minutes later, we got the spot for parking, thanks god!

I really enjoyed walking in this small town, I had spent time only a few hours to explore the whole area. everything was very adorable! It has local stores, restaurants, shopping stores, and Ripley's museum. I couldn't believe in this town has Ripley's museum because in my country, museums must be located in only big cities. On the other hand, small towns can provide galleries for tourists.

I forgot what I had for my lunch, it wasn't important enough as exploring the town.

The most important thing to do here is riding a sky lift to the top of Gatlinburg hills. You can't miss it! It is $12 for adult ticket to ride it up to the top. It was awesome! I saw the whole town in every image as bird's eye view.

By the way, I had to leave this town before sunset. My friends waited for me to come back to KY for dinner and fireworks. Time flied too fast! I had such a great time here, I like this town very much, and I will come back here again in some day.
