There's No Place Like Roam

I took the boys to DeSoto Caverns as their spring break field trip. It has changed so much since the last time I had been there, lots of things for kids to do. Unfortunately, it wasn't spring break for schools in other counties, so we were there with 500 other kids from local schools. It was a madhouse. The boys had fun panning for gemstones and riding the paddle boats. Carter and Hunter were really impressed with the cave. Graham was impressed with his echo in the cave, so he randomly yelled the entire tour! Happy Meals for lunch and you would have thought I took them to the beach for a week. Little kids can be so easy to please!

While Ms. Sherry was in town, we were able to get Shia together with Hunter and take them on a little field trip. We went to Wright's Dairy and they were able to pet a one day old calf and see milk being bottled. Of course, not trip would be complete without leaving with some ice cream!

Ms. Sherry came down for a visit and to watch the boys during Spring Break. Jason and I took a quick getaway while we had an extra adult at the house. (Thanks, Ms. Sherry!) We went up to Lookout Mountain, GA/TN and had a great time. It was our first time staying at a B&B and we loved it. We visited Rock City , Ruby Falls and rode the Incline Railway . We also went to downtown Chattanooga (only a 15 minute drive) for dinner one evening and walked the Walnut Street pedestrian bridge. We ate too much, but it was all wonderful. We tried The Canyon Grill , The Cafe on the Corner and 212 Market . I think The Cafe on the Corner in downtown Lookout Mtn was our favorite. The Chanticleer Inn is a must stay if you ever make this trip. We definitely recommend going in late April/May, the azaleas and other spring flowers were beautiful!
