making our way to Chattanooga.

Even though it was only weekend trip it was something that the family needed. I haven't beening blogging much...haven't felt up to it. Different things have been going on with me personally. I have lost touch with myself, with my Lord and Savior, haven't been missing the internet, just been in a funk. Sometimes you have to see a different scenery to make you realize how blessed you are. Going to Chattanooga, Tennessee was a true trip me, Z, the step-children and the grandchildren needed.

The drive up there was truly peaceful. We only stopped a couple of times but overall the weather was fantastic. We did not have to run the air in our cars which was truly a blessing because that means no extra gas burning. One thing I made a misstep on is not burning driving CDs because I can truly say, they is nothing on commercial radio (we have to invest in either XM or Sirus satelite). Our next trip I will not make that mistake. Once we arrived to Chattanooga we took are stuff to our rooms and then headed downtown Chattanooga and walked around Tennessee Aquarium. The children had a blast and so did the grown ups. After being down there for a couple of hours we headed back to the hotel, changed and went ou to eat at the Shoney's. The food was cool and I must say I did not stuff myself, which is a big difference for me which is a good thing.

The next day we got everything together and checked out then headed to Ruby Falls. That line was too long so we headed to the Incline Railway which is pretty cool. To see the look on everyone faces to see how beautiful the landscape is made them realize that this is what life is all about...seeing different parts of the world. Next we went to Lookout Mountain. Me and Z have been there about 4-5 times but each time I enjoy the site. Being up in the mountains, seeing what God blessed man to carve out and to show the world is just breathtaking. Being here made me forget about the internet, my podcast and what it made me think of was God first, my wife second, the step-children and grandchildren. It put in perspective that it is truly good to experience life, share life with the ones you love and enjoy every moment.
