McGann Life: Mini vaca...pigeon forge

On Thursday we headed down the road to Pigeon Forge for an overnight trip. Our main purpose in going was to see the Dinosaur Walk Museum. After reading mostly bad reviews, we decided that Josiah and Aedan would probably like it no matter what! After seeing the museum, I can see how some people wouldn't like it and feel like it was a waste of money. If you take the time to read all of the dinosaur facts then the museum wouldn't seem so short to walk through. We didn't read the info displays mainly because our kids wouldn't wait for us to read them. Josiah and Aedan loved it, though!! We went through it twice...they were so excited! Josiah has been talking about going back to the dinosaur museum since we got back. A major complaint that I read online was that it cost too much, but for us, children under 4 are free, so it cost us $20 for all four of us to go...not too bad. We liked the gift shop, too...it wasn't too overpriced! We regret not getting a couple things to save for Christmas. Here are some pictures of our overnight trip!

Aedan looking cute!

We went out to eat at Fuddruckers. The boys LOVE the food there. Too bad we don't have one here in Cookeville. Last time we went to a Fuddruckers was with my Dad on Thanksgiving break.

Josiah LOVES brochures.

you can never have too many...

hmmm...maybe just one more!

After eating we went to some of the outlets. Ryan and I took turns going in a couple stores while the boys watched dinosaur movies:) These shirts for the boys was our only purchase!

Josiah and Aedan in the hotel bad. Aedan actually slept in his pack n play, but enjoyed laying with Josiah relaxing.
