It was for a good reason. I was on my family vacation in Pigeon Forge,Tennessee. So this week I decided to make my blog about our vacation.<\/p>\n<p>This was our families third trip to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. We didn&#8217;t go to as many places as we have in our past two visits. That would be because we already went to those places. This year we went to the Grand Ole Opry which was very good. The first two songs they sang really had me wondering about their show, but it ended up being very good. We also went to the Hatfields &amp; McCoy Dinner show. Again, I wasn&#8217;t so sure at first about this show, but it ended up being good. I must say I especially liked the part when the props didn&#8217;t work right, which caused the people to start laughing which in turn had all of us in the audience laughing as well.<\/p>\n<p>So those were our first time shows. We also went to the Dixie Stampede. We have been there before, but it&#8217;s been so long we figured we would see it again. I gotta be honest this was our families first big vacation with out our oldest daughter and the Grand Ole Opry Show and the Dixie Stampede really had me missing my daughter. It was also the first couple of days of July, which for me are always the hardest time of the month since my mom&#8217;s passing. So I was feeling some what sad on vacation. At the same time my family and I did have a good time with a bunch of laughter. We made some good memories.<\/p>\n<p>Before all that happened we made a quick stop at the Creation Museum. That is a very good museum to go and see.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"irc_mi\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/3\/3a\/Clifftops4-7-07.jpg\" width=\"618\" height=\"412\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last week I didn&#8217;t write a blog.
