This episode is ALL about visiting Gatlinburg, TN with kids! We've visited twice - once in summer of 2018 with a 1, 3, and 5 year old, and now in spring of 2026 with kids ages 6-12.

Both were really fun experiences, so I'm sharing the pros and cons of visiting in spring vs summer, and which age is more fun for this type of trip.

I'm also recapping everything we did in Gatlinburg for our spring break, plus a few tips for visiting.

This episode covers the last portion of our spring break road trip from Nashville to Gatlinburg, and finally stopping in Louisville, KY before heading home.

We only had about 24 hours in Louisville, so this is by no means a comprehensive guide, but it was a great taste of this awesome city, and made me want to come back and experience all it has to offer!
