White Water Rafting
This weekend we had a bunch of Michiganders visit us in Chattanooga! We did the Incline Railroad and a hike on Lookout Mountain out to Sunset Rock with Dustin and Jenny. Then we all met up with Joe and Rich for a white water rafting trip down the Ocoee River, including a run through the…

Dollywood
This past weekend we headed up to Pigeon Forge to visit Dollywood. It was everything that I dreamed of and more. There was the Dolly museum all about her life, exhibits with her clothing and shoes, and really fun roller coasters. We went on the Wild Eagle twice! It was so, so fun. There were…

Cloudland Canyon State Park
This weekend we visited Cloudland Canyon State Park and hiked down to see Hemlock and Cherokee falls. So many stairs but worth it!

The Caverns
This weekend we headed up to The Caverns, a cave about an hour outside of Chattanooga that is also a music venue. Or half of it anyway. It was once a much bigger open space before it was split in two by a cave-in around 1200 years ago. One side of the cave has been…

Fall Creek Falls

Our first visitor
This past weekend we had our first visitor to Chattanooga: Chris’s Aunt Sandy! One of our most devoted blog readers but a first time visitor. She was right on time to see Chris do his first ever 5k run. He came in third in his age division! We also took a trip across the Georgia…

Arts and the Aquarium
It’s been a great couple of weeks in Chattanooga. We went up to Point Park to get (sort of) a nice view of the city. The clouds did eventually clear so we could see the Tennessee River, Moccasin Bend, and downtown. This is also one of the many important civil war battle sites in the…

Chattanooga
We arrived in Chattanooga late last Sunday and are slowly starting to wander around and explore the city. Here are some shots of the sunset from our front porch and over the Tennessee River up by the Hunter Museum of America Art. The art museum is a cool combo of classical architecture and a modern…
