First, I helped Mommy make some muffins for our trip. I'm really good at stirring. Most of the batter even stays in the bowl.
On Friday evening, we arrived at the cabin we rented in the North Georgia mountains.
This was the view from our cabin. Pretty nice, huh? My favorite part was throwing rocks into the lake. Over and over and over.
On Saturday morning, we went to Rock City. It's on Lookout Mountain, outside of Chattanooga. It has rock formations that are millions of years old with walking trails to explore them all.
And beautiful views of the valley.
You can see seven states from the top. I wasn't so interested in the view. I liked running around instead.
One part of Rock City had scenes from fairy tales in the caves. It was supposed to be for kids, but I thought it was just plain creepy.
I just kept saying "no" until we got out of there.
Here's a picture of the inside of the train car when we were going down the mountain. Some people got scared, but I loved it!
After such a busy morning, I was pooped. I fell asleep in the car on the way back to the cabin and then when we got back, I decided I didn't need a nap. Big mistake.
In the afternoon, we went to Ruby Falls. It's a 145-foot underground waterfall. To get there, there's a guided tour that walks you through the inside of the mountain.
I hated it. I hated just about every minute of it. I don't know whether I was tired from missing my nap, or cranky from the allergies I seem to have, or mad that I couldn't run around like I prefer to do, or maybe I was even scared of being in a cave, but I hated it. I cried, I screamed, I squirmed, I kicked.
I was content for a few minutes here and there- here's a picture of one of them. I was checking out one of the rock formations we were allowed to touch with some other kids.
After about an hour of the tour (Mommy says it felt like 5 hours), we reached the waterfall. I loved this part.
Then we pretty much ditched our group and high-tailed it back to the elevator. I think that tour group might be the first group of people I've met since the day I was born that didn't say "Oh, what a lovely boy!" If any of them happen to read this blog, I apologize for the screaming!
Finally, Daddy found a playground for me to run around on and everything was cool again. Then we went back to our cabin for some rock-throwing into the lake and an early bedtime. Oh, first I spilled a package of blueberries on the floor of the Wal-Mart. That was fun.
On Sunday, we woke up refreshed and went into downtown Chattanooga. Our first stop was the Chattanooga Choo-Choo! It's a hotel (you can actually stay in a train car!) and a train museum. I kept saying "Choo!"
I do love my trains!
There were also some really cool fountains.
And I love running!
There was also a Model Railroad Museum inside the hotel. It was pretty cool to look at, but I really wanted to pick up the trains and play with them.
We had a nice lunch in Chattanooga and then went down to the Riverfront. There was an awesome playground.
And we watched boats go by on the river.
The park had a really steep hill and some kids were sliding down the hill on cardboard.
It looked like fun, so I tried it. I climbed up a few feet and slid down on my behind. It didn't work quite as well, but I still liked it.
That was our awesome trip to Chattanooga!
