Day 2 - July 5 - Ripley's Aquarium and Cherokee, NC

We woke up late this morning. We had breakfast at the hotel and then we went to see Ripley's Aquarium. This was really good. It was a short walk to town and we had an enjoyable morning at the aquarium. The little one enjoyed watching the fish and the feeding of the sharks. It was great! I even managed touch some slimy sting rays at the touch-a-ray bay. But, the orange jellyfish in a blue tank were the higlight of the day.

After lunch, we decided to drive through the Smokies into Cherokee, North Carolina. It was a fun drive and we made some friends too, when we let a faster car, a BMW pass us by pulling over. Cherokee is a little Indian reservation town. So, we bought more memorabilia there, had the most wonderful cup of cappuchino and headed back to the room.

That evening after dinner, we sat out on the balcony of our little room and the little one entertained us with ABC, baabaa black sheep and Twinkle, Twinkle, little star. Once, it started getting dark, she forced us back in, thinking we would fireworks again! She was scared of them!
