Vacation in the Volunteer State!

August 5th 2023

It's really late but I'm home now so let's talk about my time in Tennessee. 

August 2nd

I went to Dollywood. I rode the Blazing Fury, Shooting Star, Dizzy Disk, River Rampage, and Lightning Rod!

I used to go to Dollywood all the time back when I used to live a few hours away from it, but now that I live halfway across the country I haven't really been able to go much. This was my first time since 2019! I got a flower crown for 40 dollars (I feel scammed...) but it's cute.

I went back to the hotel and slept for the rest of the day.

August 3rd 

I went to the Hollywood Wax Museum. I got a few pics I miiiight post to my instagram so keep a lookout for those if ya follow my personal where I post selfies!

Then I did a haunted house thing and a mirror maze. Yes I was very jumpy and screamed quite a few times in the haunted house. I was extremely freaked out. 

The mirror maze was awesome. Very easy to get out. 

I already mentioned the clothes shopping previously so lets skip that

Thennnn I did an escape room! My group and I (which was just me and my parents) didn't get out in time but we only got out 4 minutes late. We were having a little bit of trouble with certain things.

August 4th

I went back to Dollywood. We saw a show called Dreamland Drive-In. This used to be a tradition for us every time we went to Dollywood and while I thought it was just some 50s-60s nostalgia thing and just liked the music now that I'm older I realize more and more how incredible of a story it is, and it resonates with me really hard. Even if the songs are different now.

Oh yeah, There also was another show with a bluegrass band playing. That was really cool. They had CDs for sale and I bought one. I haven't listened to it yet. I don't listen to that kind of music usually but I decided to expand my taste a little bit. 

I didn't ride anything this time around, though.

August 5th

I did another escape room, this time we did solve it in time. It was themed around the board game Clue. I got some stickers as well which you know I put on my laptop.

I just got home from the airport 20 minutes ago. Soooo yeah. Fun little vacation before I go back to school. I'm glad I got to do that.
