9 day trip with 18 month old
Just our family of 3, - mom, dad and toddler- staying in pigeon forge for 9 days mid September. We always love to include her in our fun — and just about revolve our trips around her. However, we’ve never gone this far or this long away from home & we’re not looking to spend a gazillion dollars on the trip but we are willing to spend a decent amount. We’re excited to hike the GSM National parks, ride some gondolas, visit titanic museum, and frizzle chickens. We’re wondering if Dollywood or any amusement park is worth it with it only being us and an 18 month old. We’re also wondering what are the must do things with a 30” child haha. Not all things have to be completely hands on inclusive for her, but she does have to be there at the very least in one of our laps. We want it to be very Smokey mountain vacation feel. With cute GSM style dinners, some free playgrounds, hiking, sight seeing and just exploring, some fun expensive days out, petting zoos, etc. Also any advice with traveling on a 9 hour road trip with a toddler, or a 9 day hotel stay would be great. Heck, even advice on getting around best with her. Haha. Quite literally any advice is appreciated. It’s very possible this is a once in a lifetime trip for us as we always choose somewhere new ❤️
