April 12-19, 2009 - The kids have Spring Break this week and so we booked our vacation in Pigeon Forge, TN for the week. We had an awesome time. We went to Dolly Parton's theme park - Dollywood for 4 of the days. We had some much fun. They were doing Festival of Nations in the park and so there were people from all over the world that had booths selling their crafts and also the people were part of the shows and concerts throughout the park. Dollywood has over 30 live shows daily, over 40 rides and attractions, over 30 unique shops, & 20 restaurants. There was something for all of us. We even rode the
110-ton coal-fired steam engine on a breathtaking five-mile journey through the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.
We really enjoyed Imagine' presented by Le Grand Cirque. It was a fantastic show with amazing performances. Brittany's favorite ride was Timber Tower - the 55 foot tall toppling spinning tower. I guess she has her mother's likes for roller coasters. Nathan's favorite ride was Daredevil Falls - super flume water ride with a 60 ft, 50 mph drop. That was daddy's favorite too.
We also visited the Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN.
If you haven't been to Dollywood Chad and I highly recommend it for families. It is only 4 1/2 hour drive from here and it is so much fun!
