My family likes Tennessee United States Tennessee Nashville and even Memphis
On this week's trip to Pigeon Forge, we did a lot of strolling around cute little parts of the town we'd never been before. For instance, we had never visited the Old Mill walking district. There is this great restaurant where we had lunch, and little old-fashioned shops with locally-made goods. And the restaurant shown above had the wide variety of traditional country fare, as well as a surprising touch of country club-esque cuisine.
This is our lunch trip and the beginning of our exploring:

We missed out on the mill tour. I don't even think we realized there was one until we looked back at this picture!
Upcycled wind chime, made from pots, pans, lids, and the odd coffee mug.
Better view of the wild life on the way into the restaurant.

Even though my family ordered things like dumplings, roast beef stew, fried chicken, and catfish, I ordered the veggie broccoli and almond quiche, with fresh fruit, and pecan muffins.

A cute tinman made from left-over food cans. My children thought the pull-tab nose was especially creative.

This was the place I nearly couldn't leave.
Here's a little taste!
So glad you enjoyed your trip to Tennessee! There's so much to do in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area, and you found two of my favorite places! You really should have splurged and tried the chicken fried steak at The Old Mill! Although I'm only 30 minutes away, I don't get over there very often because the tourists are taking over! LOL Maybe I should head over one morning AFTER everyone's back in school and BEFORE the leaves start to change. That's the only time of the year the traffic isn't crazy!
