For the past 4 Labor Day weekends, we've gone camping with our dear friends.
Now our dear friends live all the way across the country.
What to do, what to do?
Kitty had soccer and a birthday party so we opted for a one-nighter in Pigeon Forge. I wasn't pleased at first because we've been there a hundred million times and I wanted something new. But, given our time constraints, it was the logical choice.
I ended up having a marvelous time.
We went on a MagiQuest adventure where Kitty successfully defeated a dragon. It was an interactive scavenger hunt with riddles and magic wands. I went into it with an uppity anti-nerd attitude but I enjoyed it immensely. Sorry, nerds! You have a good game going on there. Dare I admit that I wouldn't mind going back and doing the adventures we didn't have time to complete? Is this what it feels like to be a nerd?
We also stumbled around in a mirror maze before heading off to pizza. What a great day!
The next day we ventured out to Parrot Mountain. I didn't know what to expect because all of their marketing pamphlets are incredibly cheesy. But, wow! It was amazing. We saw all sorts of exotic birds and even had the opportunity to feed and hold some of them. Kitty held a bird named Zelda. Zelda! It's her favorite video game.
The entire place was up in the trees, it had rained the night before, and everything felt very magical. I loved it.
Man, I gotta slow down before I become a full-fledged nerd.
We finished off the weekend back at home with popcorn and a movie. It was blissful.
Here's to new Labor Day traditions!
