Trains, carousels and water





What a combination! We went to Chattanooga, TN and LaFayette, GA this past weekend for Father's Day to spend the weekend with Jacade's dad, Mike. We left Friday morning, with the truck packed, and took our time making the trek. The drive actually wasn't too bad - especially since I didn't have to drive! But before long, we were there and were checking into the hotel.

On Saturday, we went to East Chattanooga to the Tennessee Valley Railroad and Millie took her first train ride. It was a 55-minute round trip ride on a train with a steam engine. We made a stop at the repair house and witnessed the use of a turntable. Millie was very good, although she did get a little antsy from being confined. But she never fussed, thank goodness.

We also went to downtown Chattanooga and rode the carousel - twice. Millie had fun both times. We ate dinner at the Mudpie Restaurant and it was so delicious (would recommend a trip there). Then Jacade let Millie play in the water fountains and you could hear her screaming with joy. She even whined a little bit when we were leaving.

We then got back to the hotel and took Millie swimming in the hotel pool for about five minutes. She thought that was funny. We bought her a swimsuit with floaties in it and she was fine with it. Since it was so late, we didn't stay long. But it was nice to swim for a few minutes.

Sunday, we went to IHop for breakfast and Millie had some scrambled eggs and pancakes. It was a good bfast. Then we drove to Nana and Papa's house to have dinner. Drove to Gonzalo's to visit for a few minutes, then we finally made it home. Everyone was so tired.
