 In this episode of Two Grey Mice, Meg and Rob step outside the theme park bubble and head to Fall Creek Falls State Park in Tennessee for a family reunion that turned into a full-on outdoor adventure. They share what it’s really like to stay at the park’s lodge, hike to some of the tallest waterfalls in the state, and explore a destination that balances nature, comfort, and accessibility. From scenic trails and waterfall views to pet-friendly lodging, golf, kayaking, and unexpectedly great amenities, this episode is a love letter to state parks done right. If you’re craving fresh air, slower travel, and a reminder that adventure doesn’t always involve a ride queue, this one’s for you

Join us as we explore Disney’s California Adventure as part of our Disneyland Resort vacation. We fell in love with Cars Land, World of Color, and the Chinese New Year’s Celebration.  Then we enjoyed a wonderful birthday brunch at Lamplight Lounge. Disney’s Grand California Resort became our go-to for just hanging out and having a great meal.  DCA is not the park it used to be, and we can’t wait to see what it becomes in the future.

So, we went to Disneyland for Rob's birthday and honestly? What a trip.We're breaking down everything - from our super walkable hotel (shoutout to the Hilton Garden Inn) to that random brewery we stumbled into at Downtown Disney. And can we talk about how many rides we actually managed to squeeze in? Because apparently, we're overachievers now.We hit everything from Pirates to Toon Town, grabbed Beignets like proper tourists, and somehow made it through Galaxy's Edge without spending our kids' college funds.No sugar-coating here - just the honest truth about what worked, what didn't, and whether Disneyland is actually worth it for a birthday celebration.
