Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Winter Waterpark Getaway

The family took a long weekend break to enjoy an indoor waterpark at Pigeon Forge, TN.  It was only 3 hrs away, so we found a great hotel rate and headed out.

The orange and green water slides were our favorite because the whole family could go together.  They were huge tubes where you swished way up one side and then up the other, then a large waterfall-like drop that scares the heck out of you, especially if you're the one going backwards!


 
They also had indoor surfing, so the guys had to show off their skills....
















Another favorite was the indoor/outdoor hot tub.  You start off inside the arena, but can then swim through a tunnel to the outside hot tub.  It was quite chilly in the air (20 degrees), but so toasty in the water.














This is one place we'll have to re-visit.  It was the perfect adventure during a long winter weekend.
