Started out by getting up unusually early (for a day off, that is) around 10:30-ish. Got on the road about an hour later and headed towards Pigeon Forge. We stopped by an "As Seen on TV" store just to check it out and see what was really on the inside. Come to find out, it was stuff we had seen on tv and didn't need to see in the store. The big deal with that store was the convenience of being able to buy the items and not pay for shipping. Woo! Ok, so, we found out not to go there again.

Next stop was at Wonder Works. It's an upside-down museum. There was a ton of things inside to check out.  We spent about 4 or 5 hours inside there. There was this crazy bathroom in the upstairs section that had a glass door and a window into the hallway in front of it. You'd think this wasn't a good place to go, but once you go inside and lock the door, the glass gets all frosty-lookin so you can't see through it at all. Makes me wish houses had that kind of glass.

After we left there, it was time to go to Gatlinburg to spend our Hard Rock Cafe gift certificates. I think we spent a couple hours in there. Had an awesome dinner. She had a pork chop that tasted like an awesome steak. It was pretty tastey. I had what was called an S.O.B. burger. It had a lot of stuff that I wouldn't normally eat on a burger, like guacamole and some chipotle sauce. We each got a drink in a souveneir glass so we had something to take home with us. Total bill: $71.20 ... for 2 people. We ended up paying just over $30 after the gift certificates, including the $10 tip.

At this point it was a little before 9pm so we left from there and went back through Pigeon Forge to do some mini golf at Ripley's. We did the medium course, 18 holes. She did better than I did by 2 strokes. We would have tied, but I messed up pretty bad on one of the last holes. 

By 10:15 we were on our way back home. It was a really good day and I'd have to say we should do it again sometime, with the exception of the $70 dinner bill.
