Gotta Getaway

We have just gotten back from a quick last minute trip to Pigeon Forge. We really didn't have any specific destinations in mind, we just wanted to get away from the hum drum everyday. The temperature was perfect, but I think it will be a couple more weeks before the leaves start changing. Although, we did take in quite a bit of nature. We even fit in a little shopping.

It was a nice getaway and the most entertaining part of the trip was our stop in the Disney store. Hadley has never been to a Disney store (I can hear Stacia gasping all the way in Virginia), which is quite unusual given her love of all things Disney. However, the prices scare me and I'm not that crazy about character clothes, so I have deprived her. As we went in Wayne and I both expected her to go crazy with excitement, maybe running from toy to toy. What happened still has us shaking our heads. She steps out of her stroller looks at a Snow White toy with the 7 dwarfs, counts them, then her eyes go to the ceiling and we lost her. Four TV's playing Cinderella, completely captivated her. All the toys, all the princess stuff and it didn't matter how much we coaxed, how much we tried to divert her, she kept saying, "No, I want to watch Cinderella", ending our trip to the Disney store!!! Then the rest of the day she kept asking us when we were going to go back to the room, she wanted to watch TV. We went all that way, all that beautiful country around us and she would have been content to veg on the couch and watch TV.
