Breakfast with a Dear Friend
This morning we went and visited a dear friend an her daughter for bagels and coffee. Had never been to her house, and it was beautiful. Her view was spectacular. Sadly, I did not take pictures and would not have posted them anyway to respect her privacy. It was a wonderful time of catching up.
Lookout Mountain
Spectacular views, beautiful gardens, a scary swinging bridge, large rock formations, and narrow places make Rock City a very "magical adventure" just like the brochure says. We had so much fun that this will be a must see again in a few years.
One of the only drawbacks was that we could not use the stroller for Kamryn. Toby had to carry her the entire time and I had the dreaded diaper bag. We survived and had a great time anyway.

Kamryn was not impressed with her Dad's abilities to squeeze through tight places.

You can see 7 states from here.

Love this picture. We had stopped for a water break and Kamryn did not want the water just the bottle.
Ruby Falls
We stopped and toured the cavern and falls on Lookout Mountain. I am not sure I would do this attraction again anytime soon. We hiked approximately a mile down, 1120 feet, into the cavern to the falls and it was not a real pleasant trip. Although cool, it was damp, dark, crowded, and slippery. We had to stop and let other groups pass many times. Not easy while carrying a squirming baby that was not real interested in the adventure. Even without the baby, there was just not enough to see to justify paying for tickets again soon. Summing up this little adventure, "glad we went, but been there, done that."
Kaitlyn took this picture of the waterfall.
It was not very big, but it was pretty with all the lights.
Tomorrow we are off to Columbus, OH.
