How would you like to spend the night with real sharks? You have the chance to do just that with these adult-only sleepovers in Tennessee!

It's no secret that sharks are very fascinating creatures. My fiancee is obsessed with them. Even during Shark Week, when you see all kinds of documentaries about sharks and shark attacks, you'll hear her say in her "sweet" voice about the sharks who look pretty vicious at times: "Awww look at them. They're little babies!"

You either think sharks are cool or you think they are terrifying. Personally, I find them pretty interesting, but I'd never want to be caught in the water with one. However, I really wouldn't mind venturing off to Gatlinburg for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend the night with a bunch of sharks...and I know when my fiancee sees this, she'll be booking a trip immediately.
