| Lissie and Daddy on the Pedestrian Bridge |
Justin and I have decided that we need to make the most of his crazy work schedule and his random weekdays off and do more fun day trips and out-of-the-norm activities. Especially since we have learned that time moves quicker than we think, and soon - too soon - our kiddos (and most likely I) will be heading to school full-time, and those weekday-adventures-when-places-are-not-so-crowded will have to come to an end.
And so, last week, we made the two-hour trip to Chattanooga for the day. We had done it once last summer and had so much fun, we decided to do it again. The debate was between the Creative Discovery Museum (which we knew the kids would love since that's where we went last year) and the Tennessee Aquarium (a place where I knew that Lissie would enjoy, but I wasn't so sure about Xavier). Thankfully, I posed this quandary to a friend who had just been, and she solved my dilemma by giving us a free pass that she had to Creative Discovery.
We left Nashville shortly after the kids woke up and arrived (due to the time change) around 11am. We had a blast playing outside on the roof (which we couldn't do last time because of a storm threat), playing inside at the water tables, enjoying the little yellow house, doing art projects, and just perusing everything the museum had to offer.

For a late lunch, we decided to meander over the pedestrian bridge and head to Coolidge Park to check out some of the restaurants out there and then ride the antique carousel before heading back to Nashville around 4p to be home in time to make homemade pizzas before bath and bed.

Whew. A super fun adventure. Can't wait to plan our next one - hopefully soon!
