Chattanooga

We had a nice, peaceful Thanksgiving. My parents cooked and we were happy to stuff ourselves. Then I worked Friday and Saturday, and now Jake is working 12 days straight (however he plans to take off one day so we can put up our Christmas tree). Last Monday was a super fun day for Gavin and me. Amelia stayed with my parents while Gavin and I drove up to Chattanooga to spend the afternoon and night with our close friends Angela and Brayden. We miss them so much and were happy to drive a few hours for a chance to see them on their drive home from visiting family in Alabama. We met up for lunch at Good Dogs, walked around Coolidge Park, the boys took a carousel ride, then we walked the Walnut Street Bridge and the boys played in the park some more while Angela and I talked. Then we checked into our hotel, ate dinner at Purple Daisy Picnic Cafe, and walked around a couple hours at the Enchanted Garden of Lights on Lookout Mountain. Angela and I stayed up late talking in the hotel room while the boys watched cartoons. They had to leave right after breakfast the next morning but we were so glad we had a chance to meet up. We love those guys! So much fun.
