Earlier this month, we took a weekend getaway with our friends Jodi and Eliot to a cabin in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee*. We did a little hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, did some shopping in the tourist-trap strips of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, and did a lot of sitting around the cabin. If you're looking for a getaway in the Southeast, allow me to suggest the Peace of Mind cabin.

* I think the cabin might technically be in Sevierville, but if you think I'd pass up the chance to use the name Pigeon Forge, you don't know me very well.
