Family Vacation 2014

I am pretty sure that this is the first vacation the three of us have ever been on. Groupon had deals for hotels in Pigeon Forge which seemed like a good deal. So, we thought, let's try it. 

On the way, we passed the Ball Factory and the Bush's Bean Factory. They have a museum and merchandise store.  We needed a break anyway. So, we stopped. 

This little contraption shows how the beans are taken from the farm, and moved through the process to be canned.  

Then, the boys found their weight in beans. (I don't really care to know my bean weight.) 

We also got a certificate for completing Duke's Paw Print Challenge.  Cute stop and free if you don't buy anything from the merchandise store. 

Our motel is right across from The Island.  The first night, we went there for dinner. The Island has a fountain where the water is timed with the music and the whole thing is lit at night.

We enjoyed listening to the music, listening to the water show, and watching the sun set.
