Saturday was a beautiful day in the Smoky Mountains. We started the day at Ripley's Aquarium (which is nicer here in Gatlinburg then the one in Myrtle Beach SC). We saw so many beautiful fish, got up close and personal with sharks, petted horseshoe crabs and stingrays too. The stingrays have their stingers clipped for our safety- a painless procedure like fingernail clipping and yes, the stingers grow back. There were also beautiful little seahorses which are my personal favorite. We walked along the parkway where I met up with a big gorilla. Fudge was everywhere but as we swore off of it after Mackinac Island, we did not indulge. We had not sworn off bbq however and we were more then happy to take advantage of some of Tennessee's finest ribs at a place called Bennetts for dinner. A rack of baby back ribs, cole slaw, potato salad and iced tea made for a dinner of southern heaven. After dinner we took a tram ride to the top of Ski Mountain for some breathtaking sight seeing. We have decided to do DOLLYWOOD on Monday so the crowds might be smaller. Sunday is relaxation day and spend time with Tigger day.
