We took a trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee this weekend. We started our visit at Rock City. Katie Beth thought is was so cool to see all of the rock formations.

Cathedral Cavern
We had a cool time exploring Cathedral Cavern. It was our first time to ever go in Cathedral Cavern. It was Katie Beth’s first big cave. The stalactite and stalagmite formations were awesome. Other than the waterfall, Ruby Falls pales in comparison.

Visiting Hope’s New House
Karen, Katie Beth, and I headed over to Rome, Georgia to visit my sister and her family. She gave us a tour of her school’s campus and showed us the K-8 school that she will be the directing.
Katie Beth had a blast seeing Hannah and Charlie. Katie Beth experienced her first ride on a canoe.
After a bike ride and blackberry picking, we enjoyed some ice cream with our picked berries and homemade blackberry syrup.
Chicago Cubs versus Cincinnati Reds
What an adventure after volunteering to get bumped from a flight for $500, I dumped my luggage at the every hotel I was put up at for the night and headed off to the Chicago Cubs baseball game.
After a van ride, a train ride, and a bus ride, I finally made it to the game. In the end, the Cincinnati Reds finished off the Chicago Cubs 6 to 1.
I got back to the hotel room at around 12:30 AM just so I could get back up at 5:30 AM.
Hiking Palmer Park
I had a super 4.7 mile hike at Palmer Park. The temperature was in the mid-70’s with a wonderful breeze.

Magicbands
Your Disney Magicbands for our Spring trip have arrived. Katie Beth is tearing hers down to a smaller size. These bands are our annual pass bands.
We actually have 2 sets of bands already and another set on the way.
We have learned that the name given to the bands is just away to identify the band. We had hoped it would be the name of the “person” as the system display the name of the rider.
Creekwood Greenway Ride
Katie Beth has become very confident on her bicycle so we are now riding regularly on the Creekwood Greenway.
Grilling at The Nook
We joined my parents at The Nook for grilled chicken wings. Karen decided it was fun to do the grilling while I kept her plied with beer samples.
Later, my parents had to run to pick up my sister, Hope, and her children. They all came back to join us.
St. Patrick’s Parade
We went out to watch the St. Patrick’s Parade.
