I got some suggestions for things in the area that we could do.  Do you think any of them are worth added to the "official agenda"?  Is there anything else that is not on this list that should be added?

Recommend by new member "pace car" who lives in PF:

• drive through Cade's Cove (best at dusk)
• trip to the aquarium (no. 2 attraction in Tenn.)
• Dollywood (no. 1 attraction)
• Ober Gatlinburg (alpine slide, go carts, tram, ice skating etc. all for one price)
• trip to the arts and crafts community
• walk the Parkway in Gatlinburg (hundreds of shops and activities)
• driving trip to Clingman's Dome (lots of twisties and the highest point in the Smokies)
• driving loop of Smokies scenery- paved, one way and slow; Cade's Cove has some unpaved roads by the way (Adam added: This one is already on the list: Dragon's Tail Cruise)
  
• there are several theaters with themes from the 50's , hillbillies etc.
• numerous attractions like arcades, haunted houses, Ripleys Believe It or Not, hay rides, dinner shows, rides, caves, etc.

I had to order some parts from Volunteer Vettes the other day, they said to stop by if we had some time.. but I think they are only open Mon-Friday....

I wouldn't mind doing Dollywood, but where would we fit it in?

I sent them an email asking if they'd give us a tour of their facility if we took the hour drive to visit them.

I heard back from them... while they'd be happy to see us on Friday, they don't give tours and their showroom is small (only holds about 10 poeple). So, unless we have another reason to veture to Knoxville, I don't see a good enough reason to travel the hour each way.

Thoughts from you guys would be appreciated!
