Our Weekend Vacation

We decided at the beginning of last week that we were going to Mississippi and the Alabama coast, but at the last minute decided not to because of Hurricane Rita (I'm glad we didn't because there was very stormy weather in that area). So, instead of the coast we opted to go to Chattanooga instead. We left on Friday morning and and came back on Saturday night. It was a nice little getaway. We went to Chattanooga's Creative Discovery Museum on Friday afternoon and then went back to the hotel that had an indoor pool and relaxed and let the kids swim. We then went to Rock City and Ruby Falls and Point Park on Saturday. Before we left for home we went to Cloudland Canyon State Park (in Northern Georgia). We had a great time - I really recommend the Creative Discovery Museum - it's a really great hands-on museum for kids. Cloudland Canyon was beautiful - but there are a lot of trails alongside the canyon rim and you need to keep a tight leash on the smaller children.
