and swordfish and stingrays and all kinds of other sea creatures.
The iguana was not in the tank. I'm still trying to figure out why an iguana is at an aquarium. Anyone?
These two really enjoyed it. 
There were several of these tunnels where they could crawl under and stand up in the tank. Luke looks like he is saying, "Hey, get me outta here!"
The aquarium had also recently opened their new Penguin Playhouse exhibit. We took advantage of the photo op. 
Luke and Kevin were checking out the penguins.
This was not at the aquarium. This was a guy making taffy in a candy store down the street. I remember making taffy at least once when I was a kid. I remember pulling and pulling (and fighting and fighting with my brother) but not really understanding the need to pull the taffy. I still don't understand. Anyone? Before we left for our trip, Kevin was talking to Luke and making a really big deal about how Gatlinburg has "special mountain candy" so Luke would have something to look forward to. Luke said with big eyes and a huge smile, "Dat sounds boo-ti-ful." Indeed it was in the eyes of a 2 1/2 year old. He had fun looking in (and tasting) lots of candy stores while we were there.

why do you pull taffy? creates a lot of air inside which makes it chewy.
Why is there an iguana at an aquarium? Well, Mr. Google did not specifically say although I hear it's a Noble and it's name was Spike.
