We went on one more little trip this year, to Chattanooga. It felt a little strange to go during election week. It made me feel anxious that it was unresolved even though I didn't vote for Biden or Trump. It was weird & very typical for 2020. We still had a great time, just checked the news a lot.
I was able to start every day by jogging and getting to know the city a little bit. I absolutely loved doing that while listening to music and podcasts. Zara and Ellie had a great time while I was gone by using the shower attachment as a sprinkler. There is nothing like hanging out in a hotel room as a kid. Poor Jonas, ha.
Trip highlights below!

Our first evening was spent swimming at the hotel, eating spaghetti & ice cream. We didn't know the restaurant was fancy and super dark but our girls were distracted by their yummy meal. The staff got their food out fast, bless them.
Dinner @ Alleia. Zara requested it for every meal after::
Look at all of that candle wax! Amazing::
Spotted: sisters getting along::
Clumpie's Ice Cream. It was super good::
To- go only in the Covid days:::
We had lunch at my kind of place, called Rembrandt's. European vibe, decadent food? I'm there.::
The Lookout Mountain Incline Railway. Scary steep at the top::
Chattanooga choo choo! ::
Thai food! Zara's rice was shaped like a heart & I swear that's why she ate it all::
We pretty much always have to get a hotel with a pool now::
Rock City Gardens! It's amazing, especially in the fall. We had a great afternoon exploring::
Taco Mamacita in the car because the kids fell asleep::
Chattanooga Aquarium part one. They locked one of the buildings before we were able to explore & we had to go back the next day. This is from the ocean building::
