Chattanooga

Saturday we went up to spend the day in Chattanooga.

We had been wanting to something fun and special with Ellie before Annie came and we had a great day. Ellie was great and loved seeing all

the fish and playing with the water.

When we came into the city we showed her the water and the big mountain and she went "HHHAAA" she seemed very impressed with it :)

We ate lunch at Taco Mamacita.

It was different than just Mexican but it was really good.

Matt and I both got tacos and Ellie ate corn salad and chips and a chewy :)

After that we headed over to the aquarium.

We went to the Ocean Journey first.





After the first building we took a break.

We decided to let Ellie wade and splash in the water.

She had a great time....



then it ended up being a swim instead of a wade...



and it ended like this :)

We did not bring a towel or anything to dry off with but lucky for us it was 95 degrees outside so it did not take long to drip dry.



We headed over to Ben and Jerry's to get some ice cream so Matt and I could cool off... since we couldn't strip down like miss Ellie.

Then we headed back to the aquarium for the River Journey..

 

After the aquarium we were exhausted.

Ellie fell asleep in about 2 minutes after we put her in her car seat...

We were planning on going to the top of the mountain but we also wanted Ellie to get a nap.

We drove up the mountain and it didn't take long so we thought we would sit in the car for a few minutes and let Ellie get a nap in. Well Matt and I both fell asleep while we were waiting for Ellie to sleep and woke up about 30 minutes! ha!

It was raining when we woke up so we didn't get out of the car...we just drove back down the mountain :)

We decided to head back home

We stopped to eat in Gadsden at Top O The River.

I know...eating fish after seeing all those fish...but the food was great

and we just told Ellie it was chicken.
