Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies

Today we made the trip to Gatlinburg, TN (about an hour and a half from home) to visit Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies and do some touring. It was a blast! Ruby could not get enough of the "fishies" and even got to touch a crab. The aquarium was huge and very child-friendly. She spent most of the time running from one exhibit or fish tank to the next while shrieking and pointing. And, she loved the stingray bay area.

Gatlinburg is one huge tourist town. So, after the aquarium we decided to do some walking along the main path with all of the shops. Ruby waved hello to everyone and was really well behaved. Here are some pictures from our adventures today. Tomorrow is the big party, I'm sure I'll post pictures after that!
