I survived

We went to the Opryland Hotel and the Opry Mills Mall this Saturday after shooting two sessions that day. It is our yearly tradition. We see the lights and then we go to the mall to eat and shop. Seriously, if you brave this during the holiday season they should give you a sticker when you leave that says I survived Opry/Mills. We actually went earlier than usual this year, so I can imagine what it will be like in a week or two. Is the economy really bad?? We couldn't tell on Saturday. Like it happens every year, we got lost in the hotel.... Well we didn't really get lost this time like last year, but we did make a wrong turn once. We were also starving by the time we got to the food court to eat, I mean forget about the 85 minute wait at the Aquarium restaurant. We didn't even really get time to shop, but then again we rarely ever buy anything at OpryMills when we go. I really should plan better next year, bring some snacks, make sure we know where we are going, go earlier in the day. Kyndal did have fun though (check out her blog later for the fun part). I am sure we will be excited to go again next year, it is a holiday tradition after all.
