Pigeon Forge

For Memorial Day we headed down to Tennessee.  It was the perfect trip and the perfect time of year!  I loved every minute of it!  It exceeded my expectations and I left wondering why we had never been before!  We are already planning our next trip!

We left after work so we didn't get in until late!  As we drove up I was shocked at all the lights and activities!

We spent the first day exploring Pigeon Forge.  At breakfast, a guy from Hatfield's came and performed for us.  We didn't go to the dinner show but we did go check out the building! 
 Adelyn fell asleep in the car so we got to drive around and check things out.  There are so many cool buildings!!  Everything is so creative and detailed! I can't even imagine how much work went into designing each place!

Magi Quest
 
 Wax Museum.  We voted this the coolest building!
Even the sides....
 and back have intricate designs!
 Ripley's Haunted Mansion!  Seriously!  Look at that detail!
I loved this little photographer!
Adelyn finally woke up from her nap so we got to get out and do something!  We decided to go to Wonder Works.  It was top on my list and I thought Adelyn would like it.  It is a discovery museum with over 100 hands on activities!  Adelyn was too young for a lot of it, but I LOVED it!  There were cool rides, simulations, experiments, a ropes course and more!
Travis let me go on the ropes course while he watched Adelyn.
 Adelyn played in the spaceship while I was climbing around!
 Adelyn loved this giant Light Bright!  She played here forever!!
I cannot get over this picture!!  I love it so much!  She looks like such a big girl!
 She was so happy just pulling the pegs out and collecting them!
 And she loved watching the big kids make designs!  We want to make one for our house!
 Surprisingly she loved the little animals at the arcade.  I have tried putting her on the one at Meijer but she does not like it.  These were just her size!
 She loves hugging things lately!
We ate dinner at my favorite restaurant from highschool, Johnny Carino's. Before heading home for the night, we stopped at the Christmas Store.  It wasn't as exciting as I hoped for but was still fun to look at all the extravagant decorations!
It was a perfect day!  We had lots of time to wander around and do things!

Love all the pictures. The Lite Brite is really cool. And of course Travis had to stand/balance on something!

I found your blog while looking for hiking places in the area and stumbled across Charleston Falls. You have a beautiful family! :)

@Amanda, that is so nice of you! We haven't been in the area long but there are lots of fun trails. We really like John Bryan State Park.
