During our last vacation we visited Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies.  

We got there an hour and a half before they closed in February so there were not many people there.  All the fish were there, though, and that’s what mattered! 

My 2 year old was scared half the time because the pathways are darkened and she’s scared of the dark.  She kept saying, “I want to go home.”  I kept saying, “We’ll go in a little while.”  Over and over and over.

I got to see a huge sea turtle before it swam under the bridge.  When we went through the underwater tunnel the sharks swam right past and the 6 foot long swordfish laid on the tunnel right over our heads!  Of course he laid over the tunnel and blocked the light when we were trying to take a picture.

See who else we saw there?  It’s Dorie!
