I know that you know the location of our most recent Saturday excursion. If you don't know that I'm going to say that we went to Pigeon Forge, you haven't been paying attention.
Our plan was to hit up a place called Anakeesta in Gatlinburg. That was our plan but that was not what happened. First of all, it was arctic weather outside and I awoke feeling cruddy. I would've rescheduled the trip but we had a non-refundable hotel reservation. Secondly, when we planned this excursion, I didn't realize that it was a long weekend because of MLK day. Michael didn't have that day off so I was only looking at the dates for Saturday, not realizing that the rest of the world would be there for the long weekend. We sat in horrific traffic trying to get to Gatlinburg, couldn't find parking once we arrived, sat in traffic again, Michael started to lose his mind, and I tried desperately to distract him with Star Wars trivia. Which, by the way, Kitty knew nearly all of the answers to the questions. After a few maddening hours, we pivoted and found other things to do.

And a jaunt to a place called The Island. Kitty did a ropes course, we rode a Ferris Wheel, and Michael and Kitty went on a SkyFly adventure. Don't be fooled by my radiant beauty on the Ferris Wheel. I was freezing cold and not feeling well at all. While Kitty and Michael explored, I huddled inside the arcade trying not to vomit or poop my pants. Some other kid wasn't so lucky and barfed all over the arcade floor. It nearly sent me over the edge.
Next time I'll read the ding-dang calendar more carefully.
