Family Vacation 2013 -- Day 4 (Mountain and Gatlinburg)

On Tuesday we ventured down the mountain on the Tramway from Ober Gatlinburg. We had lunch at Johnny Rockets on the Parkway. Then we went to Ripley's Aquarium. While Mommy and Vanessa were taking a potty break, Daddy spotted Honey Boo Boo. It was quite hilarious -- not our top pick for a celebrity sighting. At the aquarium the kids were ichthyologists and paleontologists. It was worth its chunk of change.

After a fulfilling visit, we walked through the downtown Mountain Mall and walked through the Village, where we had donuts, coffee and co cola. We headed back up the mountain on the Tramway and played a little at Ober before heading back to the condo. (The last picture on the return trip up shows the condos we stayed in -- on the peak of the mountain.)

Right after we got back to the condo, a few severe storms moved in. Swimming was delayed until the storms moved out, so Vanessa and Zane practiced tai chi while they waited.

It was another great day . . .
