I'm doing the same as you! It's currently 20 degrees outside and I can't wait til we go to the Smokies. We are going in April and I'm really looking forward to it.
We've never been there but it seems like there is so much to do that I don't know how I will get to do all of it in a week!
I've looked at tripadvisor and the amount of info is just overwhelming.
rbtglove: Thanks for the idea to visit the Indian Museum. After a quick web search it looks like a place I'd like to visit and the reviews say even kids will like it. Those tips are pretty helpful.
