East Tn #2

We went through the Ripley's Odditorium.

 A giant transformer-Optimus Prime.

A giant tire...with a fake man's head stuck in it??  Morgan trying to mimic that.

 Jacob acting like he is trying to pull him out.

 Zoltar. Score.  Although it didn't operate the same as the one in Big.  So that was disappointing.

 At the end there was an arcade...

  Where Jacob managed to find the one game that involved a gun.

We went to the Ripley's 5D movie theater, which meant that our seat moved along with the movie, while the action was all in 3D.  It was really fun.  During a snow scene, actual SNOW fell on us.  Like, really, actual wet, cold snow.

The front of the wax museum.

 They took two pics of us in King Kong's hand, this one and then one where we were supposed to look scared.  Yea, that one turned out goofy. 

 Morgan Freeman and Keanu Reeves

Indiana Jones

Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart, Elvis and James Dean

Forrest Gump.  Interestingly enough, the REAL Forrest Gump came to visit Morgan's classroom this past school year.  His granddaughter is in her class.  Who knew it was based on a real guy??

Mall Cop

  

 Donald Trump

Matt Damon from the Bourne movies

I am realizing this is Edward Norton and Brad Pitt from Fight Club, but when we were there I totally thought it was Ed and Matt Damon from Rounders-which is one of my all time fave movies.  Oh well.

Sea Biscuit!  Love this movie too.

Hulk Hogan ain't got nothin' on my man ;)

Nacho Libre

Michael Jordan

Morgan saw this and screamed, "Adam Sandler!" before any of the rest of us knew who it was supposed to be.  You can tell who her daddy is :)

Ummmm,  I can't remember this one, but Morgan knew it...

Oh, Edward. At last we are together. 

Charlie's Angels

Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox from Transformers

Arnold from Terminator

Frankenstein

Jacob pretty much refused to get in pics, except for Indiana Jones, Frankenstein, and oh yea, Princess Diaries???

Titanic!!

Beyonce

Clint Eastwood

Ricky Bobby.  We actually took this for one of our assistants at work whose name is Deadrick, which, for some reason, caused people to nickname him Ricky Bobby.  Whatever

So after seeing and hearing how much fun Jacob and Jon had the morning before, Morgan and I decided we would get up and go with them the next morning :)

Jacob pretending to fall off the mountain, Morgan refusing to be silly.  Of course they can never cooperate at the same time...

 She was freezing.  It was pretty chilly that morning.

What view?? We have too much energy!!

Above the clouds.

They are each in a different state.

Now they are in both states at the same time!

If you will notice in the pic below, I am not wearing shoes (neither is Jacob, but that is because he is a boy).  I lost one of my flip flops while we were walking in one of the creeks.  Jon ran to the other side of the bridge to see if he could catch it, but he couldn't.  However, he did find someone's crock, and it was the right one-the same flip flop I had lost!
