Hello all,

Well it looks like we made it back. We just spent an awesome 3 days with family on a much needed vacation in  Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.  And let me tell you, it was so much fun! With Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg offering an abundance of tours, museums, dinner shows and so much more we had to partake in several of them. One of my favorite ones we visited was the RIPLEYS AQUARIUM OF THE SMOKIES . This place was amazing!

First off I have to say this is probably one of  the most beautiful aquariums I have ever seen! The outside was all decked out for Christmas, plenty of photo opportunities!  The aquarium is easy to navigate between exhibits, and they have a lot to see! The first things I saw was some beautifully displayed  smaller types of fish ,eels,  frogs and an amazing jellyfish display! Take a look-

Next up, we went through an underwater tunnel, where we could see underwater life swimming all around us. It was truly a site to see! It was awesome to see the fish, and sharks,  and one sawfish even appeared to be smiling at us!-

Next up, we saw our favorites the penguins. We were able to see them swimming, and they had a tunnel you could climb through to get an up close and personal view of them. They even had a little penguin hospital-

Last thing we encountered was they were giving rides in a glass bottom boat over the top of their tunnel filled with sharks and other underwater creatures. The boat ride looked amazing! All in all, our family trip to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies  was a fun filled day filled with memories we will never forget! If you go, remember to wear your mask. They are located at 88 River Road, Gatlinburg. Their number is 865-430-1358. Tickets are $19.99 for kids, adults are $37.99.

If taking photos is your thing , this is the place to go. There's nothing like walking through and spotting your favorite celebrity among the many wax figures they have. Then you can get creative as you want and make it fun by posing with your fave celebs in a once in a lifetime photo opportunity posing any way you choose! It so fun to get creative to see what kind of photo memory you can create! Here are a few of our favorites, can you guess who they are?-

As you go through each exhibit, you get to learn a little more about each of them. As you look closely, you cant help but marvel and the amount of work it took to give them each such life like appearances!

Besides your fave celebs, you also get a chance for photo ops with the likes of Frankenstein, King Kong, zombies, and a Disney parade, and much more!

Our day at The Hollywood Wax Museum proved to be a lot of great family fun and left us with a lot of great memories. If you go, make sure to wear your mask.
