Glimpses from Dollywood

·by Tamera Alexander

How many of you have been to Dollywood before? We visited last week and had a wonderful time.

Dollywood, originally Silver Dollar City before Dolly Parton’s partnership in 1986, is located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee near where Dolly was born in a small one-room cabin in Locust Ridge, a rural community just outside Sevierville, in the foothills of the beautiful Smoky Mountains.

The kids look serious in this pic but they loved it!

It took a little coaxing at first, but Leo loved riding the rides. So did Ari, although her choices were more limited due to her age and height.

What trip to Dollywood (or any theme park) would be complete without riding the tea cups?

Lots of laughter and some good family memories tucked away.

Love from Nashville,

Tammy
