Get-Away


a few weeks ago we took a get-away trip to chattanooga. we had tons of fun...it's one of the boys'
favorite cities. of course, my animal lovers wanted to hit the aquarium first.
i know it doesn't hurt to have the mighty tennessee running through the middle of your city, but jamie and i again wished our city council could get their act together and learn a thing or two from chattanooga. but that's another post for another day!

i love this one of my little men

another hit was coolidge park. they have a super fun water fountain and a beautiful carousel, which the boys rode twice ( and would have many more times had the fountains not been calling)! the boys made sure not to let baby brother feel left out. they would run in and out of the fountains towards him to make him giggle. above is a photo of g running back to make silly faces.

m's first carousel ride...he's holding on for dear life!


after that day of fun, we headed up to the bluff view art district (mommy and daddy's pick) where we hit some of our favorite haunts like tony's. we could live on their calamari, wine and bread alone! and then, it was off to rembrandt's for yummy treats!
we highly recommend it if you are planning a trip!

What a fun trip, we took that same one a couple of months ago. Thanks for sympathizing with me. It is so hard to leave them, the fear really takes over. We didn't choose Spain, it's a company all expense paid trip. It really can't get any better, I just want our kiddos to go with us.
When are you guys going to Disney? We are going in September, I was just wondering if we may be there at the same time.

Sounds like a fun trip! Ray and I need to remember close places like that when we want to get away!
