living the freeman life

Here’s Caleb, stylin’ his swimming suit!  We got up this morning, ate a good breakfast, then decided to take a swim in the hotel’s heated indoor pool.  Caleb had never been swimming before, so this was a real treat for all of us!!  His bathing suit had a built-in floatie thing in it which was great! 

 

 

Such a great picture of Daddy and Caleb…both boys who love the water!!

 

 

 

 

Below is a video of Caleb and Daddy playing in the pool.  You’ll hear Caleb say, “1,2,3….GO!!”   SO CUTE!!

Here’s Caleb, after we all got showers after swimming! What a ham!

After swimming, we decided to head to lunch at Mojo Burrito, a “hole in the street” which was fantastic!!

After lunch, we decided to drive around a little…here are some signs that we saw along the way.  The one on the left should be pretty familiar to most people as it is the “iconic Rock City” sign…and the one on the right is for my friend, Amanda Sweeney (Skaggs). :)  In case it is hard to read, I’m pointing at a sign that says, “Sweeney’s BBQ”!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We drove on up to Ruby Falls, although we did not pay to go in.  We just took in the lovely sights!

 

AND…the best video of all!! If you are having, or have had, a bad day, all you need to do is watch this video and everything will be all better!! I promise!

After Ruby Falls, we went back to the hotel to put Caleb down…who then decided that he was NOT going to take a nap.  So, after an hour of listening to him jabber in his crib, we decided to head back out.  We drove to the Electric Shuttle area, which was also by the original Chattanooga Choo-Choo.

 

We then took a shuttle to the other side of town and walked the River Walk up to the Bluff View Art District to Rembrandt’s Coffee and grabbed some joe. 

 

 

 

What do you do when the sidewalk ends?

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favorite sculptures in the Bluff View Art District…it was called “Grandfather”.

 

 

 

 

 

While up there, we asked a local where to eat.  She said that she worked at a place called “Lupi’s” (turns out she’s one of the managers!), that it was affordable, family-friendly, and yummy.  Turns out, she was right!!

It was a great evening…we came back to the hotel and CRASHED!!  Tomorrow, we are going to see the Tennessee Aquarium- can’t wait!
