Well after a good breakfast Saturday morning we headed over to Chattanooga, Tennessee (which was in our original plans for Cloudland Canyon). We went to Ruby Falls and Rock City. Ruby Falls was really neat. Rock City was too, but the kids were about done with walking around and looking at things. Tanner-Who did like walking over the swinging bridge and going through the really small rock passages.
After exploring the sites we decided to check out a local place for dinner. We always say we are going to do this on trips but Mr. Who is not so adventurous when it comes to food and we always end up eating at well known places. But...we did it, we stopped in at a local pizza place called Mr. T's and it was FABULOUS! After pizza and ice cream cones we headed back to "the camp hizzy" which is what Mr. Who has Tanner-Who calling our tent (for those of you not hip on lingo like Mr. Who "hizzy" means house)LoL...gotta love him!! Once we made it back to the campsite we carved our Jack-o-lantern. Everyone pitched in to create a fabulous work of art...even Baby Who dug in!
After quite a COLD night we woke up to have absolutely NO luck making a camp fire!! I have no idea what was wrong (the wood, the ground, or the fire supervisors) but we COULD NOT seem to get a good fire going. So we pulled out our grill and griddle and had some yummy breakfast minus the camp fire (if you can't tell...I really like cooking breakfast while camping). We hung out around the campground for most of the day playing games, walking a trail & playing on the playground! It was really nice to not have plans, set times, or too many cares. Just a chance to enjoy being outside and with each other. Something Mr. Who and I decided we will do more of on our next camping trip instead of spending a day doing planned activities.
Then we headed to Atlanta to see some more special people...Uncle E and Aunt Sarah!! The Who's played with Brixie, well not Baby Who because he is scared of our dachshund so he wasn't to wild about their Pointer mix. We all went out for dinner and played a game of putt-putt. It is always entertaining to watch my Whos play. So when added Uncle E to the mix to give Mr. Who some competition we were set for a good time! We gave hugs and headed back to the camp hizzy for our last round of s'mores and a quick game of Memory.
It was a great vacation and although we know some things we will change for next time nothing beats getting to spend time together and getting to see good friends!
Memories Made!!
