Tourist Trap, City!

Yep, I'm still posting on our vacation. I told you I took a LOT of pictures. What's amazing is it's taking me forever to post the pictures, and we did it all in just a few days, literally! We are crazy.
Today, the tourist trap pictures.

We ate out at 3 local restaurants.
Bennett's
: NOT worth the money. At all.
No Way Jose's Mexican Cantina: Our favorite. We couldn't sit on Margarita Island, though. That's where we wanted to sit...by the water. But we sat by a window by the water, so that was good enough :~)
Old Mill (you saw pictures of us already) had an awesome breakfast. Wow, it was good.

We played Putt Putt Golf on a mountain. Hillbilly Golf. Don't know that it was worth the price, but we played there for sentimental reasons. You ride up a tram and then play and ride back down. It was cool. Daniel won.

We visited the Ripley's Aquarium. It was pretty cool, for an aquarium. Lots of sharks. Lots of different things. Lots of sharks.


We went to the Comedy Barn. We had some good laughs, but my biggest laugh was watching Avery laugh. That girl LOVED the Comedy Barn. She thought it was hilarious. She was constantly bent over laughing at the silliest things! They called the kiddos up to dance and she went willingly. You'll notice, that all of the other children are kind of standing around. Our girl is the one with the pony tails flying as she does her thang, yo.

That boy in the green is gettin' down, too.

The grand finale event was the skylift. About 30 yards up (not nearly close to the top, yet) Avery says, "You know, if I fall, I will die." Very plainly. LOL

So, we held on tightly and distracted ourselves with the beautiful blooming mountain laurels. And a ground hog.

Daniel rode back down with me...he started swinging his legs and I almost threw him off the seat. I think he had more fun going up with Dad. :~)

NEVER will I wilingly go up on a skylift. Avery's comment cracked me up. Ski lift are pretty much the same thing right? Well I hate those too but at least I tell myself that if I fall I will land on snow. In reality the snow probably wouldn't really make a difference :P
