So we went to Chattanooga, Tennessee for 4th of July weekend. We planned this trip a little over a month ago and were really excited about some of the things we were going to do there. We planned on seeing fireworks, the Tennessee Aquarium and Zoo, Ruby Falls (which is a 22 story waterfall inside of a cave), and Lookout Mountain (where you can see 7 different states from the top of). All things which would have been nice had it not been raining... The Whole Time! It rained all day and everyday we were there, so it was a big bummer. I was mostly bummed about having no fireworks. When there is a chance of rain in the Southeast, even with 10% chance, it means it will most likely rain. So we spent a lot of time at our hotel and doing as many indoor things as we could find.
It was really nice that our hotel had an indoor pool so thank goodness we brought our swimsuits! Regardless of the rain, we still enjoyed getting away and Jameson having the time off from work. So what is there do to indoors in Chattanooga you ask? Well Friday we went to the Children's museum. They have the best Children's Museum I have ever been to. You'll notice Easton has his binky in lots of pictures... I swear we are getting rid of that thing soon, but thank goodness we had it here. No naps makes for a very cranky two year old, but Easton still had a blast!
Then after the museum we did end up getting to do the Aquarium. It is rated the best one of the best aquariums in the country. I would have to agree, it was pretty cool.
"Nemo" was Easton's favorite.
The jellyfish were mine
One of the places we ate at was called Cheeburger Cheeburger (Recommended to us by one of Jameson's co-workers and someone from the ward). We both thought it was ok. We also ate at Buffalo Wild Wings for the first time ever! There use to be one in AZ (we had never been) and it closed. Jameson said it is now his favorite place to eat at.
Saturday we planned on doing all of those other things I mentioned earlier but the rain was just too much. We even drove by to check to zoo out (only 8 bucks we figured we could do that for at least an hour). But the parking lot was completely deserted. So we ended up going to see Despicable Me 2! Very cute movie!
And we finished of our trip off Saturday night with nothing else but some Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Easton is weird and said he wanted one, but it ended up just sitting there and melting mostly.
Since its only two hours away we will definitely have to go back and do all those things we planned on doing, but didn't get to do. Darn rain!
