We woke up Friday morning knowing it was going to be a raining day. To our surprise we got to see a beautiful sunrise over the mountains. It wasn't long though before we saw the clouds! We had already planned some indoor activities so we weren't too worried about the rain.
After breakfast at a pancake house, holy cow Gatlinburg has a lot of these, we headed over to the Ripley Aquarium. Ron, Tony, and I had visited one just like it in Myrtle Beach several years ago but, we still really enjoyed this one. Riley love the fishes and just everything about the aquarium. It was fun to see her reaction to the big tunnel that goes under the shark tank. She loved it, thank goodness she didn't think we were putting her down for a nap like King Tut!
After the Aquarium we headed back to the cabin and "rested". We were hoping Riley would take a nap but there was no way. My Mom was resting when she spotted these wild turkeys coming down the hill and walking right across our "backyard". It was pretty neat to see! After the excitement Ron, Tony, and I jumped into the hot tub and relaxed for a bit then played some pool.
After our rest we headed to Pigeon Forge to do some outlet shopping. While Mom, Dad, Riley, and I were shopping the boys headed over to the NASCAR Speed park to do some go-kart racing, imagine that we do racing stuff even on vacation! They had a blast. Once they were done they met up with us and we ate at the Chop House and it was outstanding! Highly recommend if you are down that way.
