Happy Halloween

Chattanooga Trip

We headed to Chattanooga, TN this past weekend for my fall break. We drove down Saturday morning. We went straight to the Aquarium and had fun. Once we finished there, we drove right down the road to our hotel. We hung out in our room while Emma had a snack and watched Sprout while we decided about dinner and plans for the evening. The neat thing about Chattanooga is that you can walk or ride the public trolley around and pretty much see anything that you want. We ended up walking down to Big River Grille and timed it just right for no wait. After our delicious dinner, we walked over to the pedestrian bridge and walked across it. On the other side of the bridge was a nice park, carousel, and a Sweet Cece's. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the beautiful weather while eating our yummy frozen yogurt. We headed back across the bridge and to the hotel. Once we got in the room, Emma crawled up on the bed and and laid down and pulled the covers up and said night night. She was exhausted. She was completely off schedule since she decided to sleep in that morning and had not really napped. It made for an early and easy bed time. On Sunday morning, we lounged in the room until check out time and then headed to Hamilton Place to have lunch and do a little shopping. We stopped by McKay's books and then headed back to Columbia. We spent the next 2 days working around the house and having fun.

Sept fun

September brought lots of fun. A trip to the Zoo on a beautiful Friday and the opening day of the flamingo exhibit. It also brought the arrival of our Swingset. We finally had a few days of beautiful weather to get out and enjoy the fresh air.
