Hello and Happy Thursday!! We getting back in the groove of things after a really quick road trip this week. We haven't had time for a *real* vacation this year and the last month has been a little trying, so we decided to get away for a few days.
We had a loose plan, but nothing binding, so we took our time getting to our destination: Chattanooga. It is such a cool town. The only thing we had to do was surprise our almost 4 year old with a train ride on a restored steam engine. Let me tell you.... hearing him shout and get so excited when he finally figured out where we were was worth all the heat of the day. I am so happy that we have the excitement on video.
We had a short little ride on the engine that stopped out a real, live Steamworks. All you mommas who have Thomas lovers know this is a super big deal. And, we watched them turn a steam engine around on a turn table. All very exciting!
He was brave when we went through a very old, dark tunnel... probably braver than me *smiles* We could have used a few more days, but I am thankful for the time away.
We did a little shopping on the way there and back. I scored a great treasure (show you later) and was able to fill the shoppe as well.
More soon~ Have a happy sort of day!
bye for now~

ReplyDeleteThe hubs and I did that same trip a few years back....Love Chattanooga, its just big enough and only 2 hours from ATL! The tunnel was creepy scary - but the turntable was great - had never seen anything like that before. Cheers! Mary :)
