We planned and planned for the perfect Family Vacation.
Searching the best things to do and the perfect things to see :)
After narrowing down to the beach and the mountains... the mountains ended up winning the vote :)
Certainly glad it did!!!!
We all headed out on a Sunday, at the crack of dawn (3:00 a.m)....drove for what seemed like for EVER -note to self or any families planning a near future trip...driving 12+ hours with a 14 month old should never fall under the GOOD IDEA column- and finally ended our journey in PIGEON FORGE, TN!!! R, wasn't happy about being strapped in the car seat, like, at ALL!!!
Definitely a tourist town. Completely packed with all things fun!!!
We could tell that we had left the flat land of Texas because the windy roads left the Marsh mobile a little on the sick side :(

We spent our first night, after that long drive, hanging out...eating pizza....and getting our game on :)
Monday, we were ready for our first stop in the Big P :)
*Ripley's Aquarium*
R LOVES her CC
The Aquarium was fun and had TONS of things, fish and creatures to see. But it was ass to elbows full of people. Kinda put a damper on this adventure!
Fantastic Mexican dinner
R stared in complete amazement of our waiter each time he would come to the table. haha, I guess she wasn't too sure of his Spanish accent. He was wonderful, though and got a kick out of her.
Then we came home...relaxed, took advantage of our game room and got a little crazy :)
R LOVED the stairs! Once she learned she could crawl up them, it was HELL keeping her away
Tim found himself a new dancing partner :)
made some smore's
Sang Karaoke
Can't remember what it was that was so funny here. But we left this evening with sore tummies from laughing so hard.
Charades's
CLEARLY the girls WON!!!!!
The first day was a success!!!
