This past weekend Joe and I took our first vacation away from Joey. I have to say that I am proud of how well I handled being away from my baby boy. Joe and I woke up early Saturday morning and headed to Chattanooga to Ruby Falls and Rock City. I just have to say I was rather shocked and confused when we got on the elevator to see the falls and it went down. Who knew there would be falls under the ground?! Well it was all beautiful. Here are some pictures from out trip.

Us underground. When we got to the falls they told us that we were directly under the peak of the mountain. Kind of freaks you out to think about all the weight of the mountain on top of you and only one narrow way out. Not something I suggest to someone who has a problem with tight spaces that's for sure.

At Rock City we could see seven different states. Alabama is to the right of us.

The Chattanooga Aquarium was amazing.

Isn't this thing huge!! I kept replaying the part in Jaws when he broke through the glass. I just didn't get too close. I did pet a shark earlier in the day but he was much, much smaller. I also got to pet a sting ray. Surprisingly he was not slimey at all, more velvety.
