We just love the Smoky Mountains! It is so beautiful up there. While our accommodations weren't quite as fun as last time we went it was still better then a regular hotel room. Having a townhouse when traveling with the girls really makes the vacation go smoother! Of course one not infested with lady bugs would have been nice, but the girls sure loved to play with them.
We went to the Ripley's Aquarium...twice, (the girls LOVE it and they have a sweet military discount), the Ripley's Odditorium (skip it), and Wonder Works (expensive, but very entertaining and fun!). We also went up to Ober Gatlinburg so the girls could play in the snow. We attempted ice skating too, but Morgan wasn't a big fan. She had this same issue with a trampoline recently. She wants to try it, but is so terrified she screams to get off, you get off, she screams to go back on. It could go on all day. So we will try again in a couple years. We did ride the ski lift up to the alpine slide and both girls enjoyed that quite a bit.
Of course we went swimming. Ben gets the good Dad award for actually going in the freezing cold water with the girls again. I tried the first day, but I'm just a wimp. I finally asked about the temperature and the last day (the day I remembered the camera) there was actually steam in the pool room so they must have turned the heat up. And the last day was also the day we forgot to take the room key to the pool and locked ourselves out in the cold. Whoops.
All in all it was a great trip and wonderful to have so much time with Ben!
