Chattanooga

Last week we took a little trip to Chattanooga. It was sort of a thirtieth birthday/mother's day/we really wanted to visit their children's museum before Lylah would cost money (yes we are cheap, I know) kinda trip. It was loads of fun for sure!! We stayed at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, which was really cool and perfect for our little transportation lovin' lady. We spent the afternoon just walking around looking at the trains/gardens/pools/elevators and such. We did take a train tour which was fun except when the man would stop to talk which would prompt Lylah to say, "more train go mommy". To say she wasn't interested in the history behind the Chattanooga Choo Choo could be considered an understatement, but at least we were the only ones on the tour!! The conductor also let her ring the train's bell so that sort of restored their relationship. That evening we ate some Taco Bell on our balcony, mainly because I think eating at restaurants with toddlers is incredibly overrated. We ended our first day with a little dip in the pool. Lylah liked the pool much more than she did last year. We took turns jumping in and floating like a boat, needless to say, I'm glad we were the only ones at the pool too :)

The next morning we woke up and went to the Creative Discovery Museum. It was great!! Double fun for Lylah was that we took the city bus to et there (I really wasn't kidding when I said she loves transportation). Anyway, the museum was just as good as we had heard it was. The exhibits were all very interactive and hands on. Lylah was at a great age for it too! Her favorite exhibits were the art exhibit which had art, music, and drama and the yellow house exhibit which was like a play kitchen times 100. I didn't take very many pictures with my phone so you'll just have to go see for yourself!!! I did take a couple at the water exhibit because I thought it was sweet that Nathan wore a rain jacket too!

We had so much fun in fact-

We wore the lil' lady out. She slept ALL THE WAY HOME!!
