There are very few words to describe Christmas at Graceland. The decorations and lights are amazing and it truly transforms into a magical place. My girls are too young to know who Elvis was, but were enchanted with the whole scenery. Make sure to visit on an "off" time, as it can get super crowded and make for a hectic visit.

The apple barn in Sevierville is one of our favorite stops in the area. Our girls love the scenery and the Cider mill is quite a sight to see. The gift shop area sells the most amazing apple butter you have ever put in your mouth! It is really worth your time to stop and spend some time at the Apple Barn.

We have visited Dollywood twice with our young daughters and have been overjoyed both times. It is a large park, but it is very clean and tasteful. There are none of the things that you would have to worry about being appropriate for your children to see. Tickets can be a little pricey, so check for specials and sign up for their email list for more discounts. Definitely worth the money and time! You will make great family memories.

I personally loved the Titanic museum, but it not for young children. I loved the artifacts and photographs and it was overwhelming thinking of the tragedy of the Titanic. My husband ended up having to take our girls outside as they kept loudly proclaiming that they were bored, but they are under the age of 5! Take a few hours and treat yourself to this if you are in town! You will not regret it.

We use this hotel during football season, and I have no complaints! The service is top notch, the location is within walking distance to the Auburn University campus, and the rooms are spacious. One word of caution, make sure you book early, as this hotel does tend to fill up super fast. There is a nice pool for the kids, and you will have plenty of room for a pack and play or crib.
