Family vacations are expensive. The girls probably enjoyed the mirror maze in downtown Gatlinburg more than anything else we did on the entire trip, but it cost us $40 to get in. Seriously, with a coupon, even.

The maze itself is pretty interesting, and they do let you go through it as many times as you want. I think we went through it at least 5 times. It’s a little hard to tell from the pictures, but the maze is full of flashing lights and at times it is virtually dark. This significantly increases the difficulty of getting through. Plus, since all of the mirrors are set at an angle to the direction you are moving, you often don’t realize that you are near a mirror until your hands hit it. That’s why they make you wear the gloves.

The gloves don’t help with face prints like the one that Sadie left just after the picture in the lower right was taken. “Sadie, watch out for that…” < whump > “…mirror in front of you!”
