Chattanooga

This past week Mike took some much needed time off. We decided to take an over-night trip to Chattanooga. This was Lexi's 1st night sleeping in a hotel. Yeah, that didn't go so well. Mike fell asleep before she did. ha! She also got to eat her 1st meal out at a restaurant. In the past we have always taken food for her when we go out. Why in the world should we pay $5 for Kraft mac & cheese?? On Monday we went to the zoo (nothing to write home about), went swimming at the hotel, ate at Texas Roadhouse and walked around a mall. Tuesday we went swimming again, went to the aquarium, and then came home! It was so great to get away for a little while and just be a family!

Picnic lunch at the zoo

Very sleepy... possibly because she wouldn't sleep on the way there.

At the hotel, helping dad figure out what we should do next.

So many options!

Excited to try out her new swim-suit!

She LOVED swimming!

She also loves her daddy so much!!

Mommy didn't swim the 1st time. Somebody had to get some cute pictures!

All dry from swimming and ready to go out to eat.

Tuesday morning: reading a book & breakfast in bed.

Swimming time again!

Ready for the aquarium.

Trying to catch a butterfly with daddy. (It was unsuccessful)

Checking out the penguins. She loved them!! Makes mommy so proud!

It was a quiet ride home. Such a cute sleeping baby!
