We had so much fun the last time, we headed down again to see family, and spend some time doing the touristy things. The baby didn't get to meet all of the family the first trip down, so that was a priority this time! After family time, we went to the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge. I hav[...]
Far away, in the depths of Tennesee tourist country, there is a place called Parrot Mountain. It is literally a mountain of parrots. (Okay, maybe it's more like a really big hill, but still, lots of parrots.) We took a little family trip to Tennesee so Bridgette could visit with the grandparents, a[...]
