Our experienced at Wilderness At The Smokies.

Are you living around here in Tennessee? If you are or even you are not you should visit the Wildernessathesmokies . We went there twice this year and we had blast! First this spring around May and then went back there by September. I'd say this is an awesome place for a family with kids. They are much cheaper and more fun. We paid $99 per night and that includes their water park package.  They have a lot of rides to enjoy like wild vortex-an outdoor thrill slide, wild water dome-an indoor water park which is open to all season, Yes, even winter...since it's controlled temperature. Check their websites for more information: Wildernessathesmokies. My 2 yrs old girl just had so much on this indoor park. Words just can't describe on how much fun she had. Her wide opened so widely and screamed every time the water pours from the big bucket. (It pours every time the bell rings and I think it rings every 10 minutes.) And then, there is an area that just for her age. A shallow water...I think it's about 2 inches deep. She just loved to crawl and stomped on it. Then there are also some swings that your little one could use while small amount of water dripping from above. She just loved it there. Then the wavy pool, is also fantastic. Kids and grown up could enjoy here. It's bigger pool than most places that I've been. I definitely recommend this place for a family get away. See pictures above for more ideas.

Georgia's Aquarium

I just love the ocean even if I don’t know how to swim. For me I can dream all I want to dream, seems sky is the limit of my dreams. I love the fresh air and the breeze. Different colors of fishes are just so beautiful for me. That’s why I was so happy when my husband brought me into different aquariums.I saw different kinds of fishes,turtles,penguins,sea horses,and many more.There were many lovely living things that I found inside this aquarium.I felt like I was in the bottom of the ocean.There were real corals and real stuff that I found there.They were so beautiful!It was like a dream comes true!I been in Smoky mountain's aquarium and also in Chattanooga's Aquarium but I just brought disposable camera.That's why I can't save it in computer and show it to you.Chattanooga's aquarium was also amazing I wish I had my digital camera on that time.Anyway I brought my digital camera when we went in Georgia's aquarium.


Here are some photos in Georgia Aquarium:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Atlanta Zoo

I also love animals that's why after we went to Georgia's aquarium we went also to Atlanta Zoo.It was so amazing there.It was my first time to see animals inside zoo,I was like a kid asking my husband about the animals.I saw zebra,elephant,panda and many animals there that I only saw in the books before.Panda and zebra are big but so cute,I like their colors.I saw also many kinds of monkey and they were so funny and smart.I also saw many kinds of birds and they were so lovely.It made me think that God is so powerful and very artistic.He made many things that you can't even imagine.Anyway I was so thankful to my husband for bringing me in the zoo.

Great Rides In Dollywood!

I received another brochure from dolly wood again yesterday! It's a second brochure they been sending me this year.They are really trying to get mama,aren't they?

Me and my husband went there year 2007.And I'm telling you every penny we been spending there was worthy...Oh my,there roller coaster was amazing!It was my first time in my life to ride a roller coaster and my husband brought me the one that they called "thunder head". For me, it's the wildest ride on the wood!It felt like I was dying on that time.I was praying while I ride this thing.I don't know how many "Hail Mary" I been finished on that time.I heard many people screaming around me,full of joys and laughter's but me was so nervous.I was trembling and out of breath even after that ride.I wish I can explain you exactly what I felt on that time.It was so different but amazing! And let me tell you the perfect word that I felt "it was the most adventurous thing that I been encountered whole my life"






We also tried the mystery mine.It was also great and a thrilled ride.It was my first time to see a witch on a cave,lol.I saw witches and other scary things while we were riding on that thing.It was really nice scenery we found inside this mystery mine.There was like a lighted water that helped us see around us,since it was dark inside this mystery mine.They really did a great job to make it looks like a scary place.But I was not that scared anymore like what I felt in thunder head.Mystery mine is not as rough as thunder head.It was smoother.





And the one that I enjoyed so much was in water park.We rode the round thing and brought us down to the hill.I did hold it so tight because I was scared that I might fell down.This ride was a lot smoother than a roller coaster.I did start to screamed and laughed on these rides.In fact,me and my husband did it twice.
Another kind of water ride that we also tried.The flow of water brought us in different area.There was an area that we screamed because the water splattered us and we got wet.And there was an area too that we found a small tricky waterfalls and it seem if we passed these thind would make us wet all over but it was just a trick!It did turn off itself upon passing it.

I did enjoy so much on that trip.And I was amazed to the people who planned,designed and build those happy things that we found in dollywood.

PHILIPPINES FESTIVAL IT'S IN NEIGHBOORHOOD NOW!

My husband brought me a good news today! He brought the news about the Philfest.Florida's largest Philippine festival.And the best part is he wanted me to bring this april to witnessed their festival.This is a great news for me.I did miss so bad the festival in Philippines and I'm so glad that there are filipinos bringing it here in America.They have their festival every April 2.This is organized by the Philippine Cultural Foundation Inc..(PCFI) which owns the Bayanihan Arts and Events Center and it's sprawling 10-acre grounds.Let me share to you some information that I been reading in news paper:
