There is no reason to let a few rain showers dampen your Gatlinburg getaway! (Pun intended!) For vacationing adults, a rainy day in the Smokies = a romantic retreat!!

Rainy Day = Romantic Retreat

Here are a few suggestions of things to do in-room:

1. Pamper yourselves. Run a warm bath and soak in the tub. Give each other a pedicure, back scrub, or a soothing rub down.
2. Snuggle up and watch a movie. Ready the popcorn and curl up to a good movie showing on one of our satellite stations.
3. Enjoy an afternoon nap. When is the last time you had the time to do that?
4. Order dinner in. Several area restaurants deliver to our hotels. Pizza and a cold beer can be as romantic as your imagination allows it to be!
5. Play cards, tick-tack-toe, spin the bottle, truth or dare!
6. Dance! Get wild and funky or slow it down. Don’t let those lessons go to waste… practice those dance steps.
7. Pour the wine and read or write love letters to each other.
8. Reminisce… see if you both remember the same details of your first meeting, first date, and first kiss. What was each of you wearing, who were you with, where were you, etc.
9. Did you know that the fingers, upper lip, nose, forehead and palm have the most concentrated touch receptors? Interesting… when is the last time you paid attention to your spouse’s forehead? Elbows?
10. All of the above.

Prepare for your own impromptu romantic getaway by packing these things before you leave:
Tealight Candles, Lotion or Massage Oil, Popcorn, Deck of Cards, CD Player & Discs, Bottle of Wine, Pens & Paper

When you arrive, pray for rain!
