After a very nice breakfast at the hotel (yummy french toast with syrup for all - and that fattening crispy bacon that mommy never buys!), we headed out for a day at Rock City. We were very excited - Mikaela in her Alice in Wonderland t-shirt and Xander in his prince charming shirt. We entered Rock city and read "Once Upon a Time" - that has to the beginning of a great story! As we toured Rock City, we came upon many, many fairy tale characters.
We first met a beautiful fairy who blew bubbles for us and wished us well. Next we happened upon Jake and the The Giant arguing over something - wonder who knows what? We saw Hansel and Gretel who were nice enough to give us candy and tell us the story of their evil stepmother. We found a grumpy ol troll who tried to make daddy pay to cross the swinging bridge (until Daddy told him he was a teacher and then the troll just laughed!). We saw the Princess and the Frog Prince. Mikaela was willing to kiss the Frog Prince, but not profess her love for him so a frog he remained.
We were so proud of our future actress who got the leading roll of Baby Bear in the Goldilocks and the Three Bears interactive story telling. No one every said "Someone sat in my chair and broke it to bits" better than she did! Mikaela and her daddy also played fairy tale trivia and didn't miss one (okay so Mommy answered that last one for them - but who can name all the 7 Dwarfs by themselves?).
We found the evil witch with her red apple - no way were we going to tell her how to find Snow White!
We ended by finding Maid Marion and Robin Hood - what a great tale they told us. One of adventure and love - a great combo!
As any great story ends, so did ours, we vacationed happily ever after...
