Birthday Vacation

On the day of Sadie's actual birthday (her party was a few days after, so I guess technically I'm out of chronological order here) we went to Chattanooga (Sadie called it Chagganooga)for a mini-vacation. Kelly was off for the whole week and we decided to get out of town for a few days. We stayed in a train car at the choo-choo hotel and it was interesting to say the least. We knew we were in trouble when we checked in and saw the sign on the wall that said "We have done everything possible to soundproof the train cars without compromising their historical value." About 11pm that night, we found out why that sign was there when the very loud, rude man in the car behind us snored when he fell asleep! I'm not kidding. . . .

Despite the "tin-can" (as Kelly called it) that we stayed in, we had a great time. We visited Ruby Falls (which tested my claustrophobia), the aquarium and IMax theatre and the childrens museum. We all had a really great time together. I will have to say that I think the girls favorite part was the indoor pool at the hotel! Maybe next time we'll just get a room at the local holiday inn. . .
