gatlinburg/ pigeon forge! Pt. 1
ok... so... its been quite a while since i last posted... but im pretty sure this one might be kinda long... (and it may even have pictures!!! yay!) but anyways... last week i went to gatlinburg and pigeon forge, and it was really awesome! so what im going to try to do is go through a day by day tour of what we did... we'll see how it goes.... day one: ok, well day one was kinda boring.. all that happened here is we traveled for about 7 or 8 hrs to get to the cabin... ugh... but when we got to the cabin it wasnt too bad... we got to sit around and relax for the rest of the night... and there was a hot tub, so that was always good... i sat in it almost everyday. :D
day two: so today i woke up at about 8:00 a.m., which believe it or not, it really wasnt that bad. once everybody got ready, we decided to go putt-putting... in which case Evan kicked all of our butts (and for all of u who dont know, evan is about 2 1/2 yrs. old!!)... after that, we went to eat at the hard rock café. I liked the food, and the place was really cool, and they had all kinds of music memorabilia. that was really awesome! After we all ate, and got stuffed, we went to ripley's aquarium! That was probably the coolest part of the trip. I had a blast, and amazingly got some really good pictures! After that we were all pretty worn out, so we got some ice cream and went back to the cabin, and relaxed... in the hot tub!
I got a really good picture of this jelly fish... (believe it or not... this is that picture!!)
So... this is a hammerhead shark, and... if you were wiling to break a rule of touching the sharks, and taking a chance of that thing never liking you again... you could reach, and therefore TOUCH a shark... (even though you werent allowed)
Now this, on the other hand, (a stingray, for those of you who dont know) you are allowed to touch... in which case, i have proof!! ( look up )
Ok... so... this isnt really a fish... but it is a really cool aquarium! and i was inside of it but i didnt get wet! how awesome is that!?
Day three: ok... so... i wake up again... at around the same time, maybe a little later. awesome! 2 days in a row that i wake up early! I'm am on a roll! Anyways... again, everybody got ready, and we were on our way. today (and by today i mean, day three of the trip) we went to the ripley's museum, which was really cool, but i didnt really get any pictures in there... and im not really sure why... *stops to think about that*... anyways, it was really cool, and next time I go back I'll actually get some pictures. After that, we went out to eat, and then we decided to go to the ripley's haunted mansion. that was pretty scary... (you can ask Bubby, i almost lost my arms because of him, granted he doesn't do the whole scary movies or anything, but he was squeezing my arms pretty tight.) im pretty sure you would think it was scary when u have a crazy la-la-ing girl chasing u down a really dark hallway! So... then we decided to do something even more scary than that, to me... that is: we went up into the mountains, on a tram... and im afraid of heights!! very scary to me...
