Although the leaves are just starting to change colors,
that doesn't mean the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area isn't colorful! Fall decorations are
everywhere. Between pumpkins, hay bales,
fall flowers and scarecrows the area is fairly well covered!
Fall is not my favorite time of year, but as we drove around Pigeon Forge last week the 83 degree weather made it feel more like summer. Enjoying Fall decorations while wearing shorts is my kind of fun. We weren't the only ones visiting the area and traffic was heavy to say the least!

We stopped by The Christmas Place which is an amazing
store. It’s Christmas all year long in
there. I already have a lot of ornaments
I got there years ago when we lived in the area. I did want a new one for Ruby, our lab. I had her name put on it and the date. Since she was with us on our trip she needed
a souvenir too.

The store is decorated for Fall outside and Christmas
inside! The lights and decorations will
make you want to sing Christmas songs.
We were there early and got a front row parking spot and a very short
checkout line. That won’t be the case as
the days and weeks go on. It’s a
wonderful place to start your Christmas shopping.

You better start your day with a good breakfast. There are many pancake houses in the area where you can eat to your tummy is full.
If you head up the Parkway to Tanger Outmall you’ll see
they have gone pumpkin crazy as their entry road is decorated than more
pumpkins that I could count. With the traffic it was impossible to get a
photo of it, but take my word for how nice it was.
Most homes and rental cabins in the area have some type
of Fall decorations, if only a flag or a scarecrow in the yard. People really get into it around here. Our first fall in Sevierville we did the hay
bales, mums and scarecrows in the front yard.

If you are looking to buy your Fall decorations head over
to Old time Pottery in Pigeon Forge.
They have a ton and a half of Fall decorations and they also have out
thousands and thousands of Christmas lights and decorations.
The tourists were in town and we were part of. The only difference is we know the back roads
to avoid the worst traffic jams. But it
was fun being in the action and seeing all the wonderful Fall decorations in the
Smoky Mountains.
