This year Matthew and I had our 8th Anniversary! Since we just had a newborn, we waited until the beginning of November to celebrate. We took a small family vacay over a weekend to Chattanooga. We stayed at the Chattanooga Choo Choo. It was an awesome atmosphere and there were some pretty cool things to see. We walked around the train terminal and we got to eat in a train car called the Silver Diner. I had WAY too many pictures for this post, so I just made some collages to not overwhelm!
We also SAW ROCK CITY! We followed the advice of those bright red bird houses. It was absolutely beautiful. Not to mention a little nerve racking trying to squeeze through the tiny tunnels with a baby strapped to your chest! But, obviously we're alive, so all is well. I had a lot of fun taking pictures throughout the gardens. We saw a couple being married on top of Lover's Leap. Matthew, William, and Lily all went across Swing a Long Bridge while Jane and I stayed on the solid ground!
The kids all loved going through all of the different caves and tunnels and thought that the fairyland was cool. I had wanted to see the top of Lookout Mountain where you can see 7 states. I think I ended up getting William excited, but when he and Lily saw the view they were a little disappointed the states weren't different colors.
I feel bad that in all of the pictures of our family Jane is facing me, but she did sleep most of the time! Memories, right? Our trip was so much fun and it was great to get out of the normal routine for a time and be together as a family.
