Yesterday was another great day...very busy, the kids aren't sure if it is still the same day or not. We woke up after a terrible rain storm at Raccoon Mountain, it felt like our RV was going to float away. Luckily it stopped raining by morning and we were able to take down our canopy, get showered and pack up. (and we figured out that the sunlight in the shower has a small leak. Good thing we didn't listen to Chris when packing, he kept saying, "just put it in the shower")
We then headed off to a cave tour though the caverns. http://www.raccoonmountain.com/html/caverns.html
Everyone had a great time with out tour guide Ewing, he told us everytime we got wet by a drip of water we were getting a cave kiss and it was worth 7 years of good luck. From the looks of Grey when we came out of the cave, he is going to have good luck for the rest of his life! The cavern was quite amazing and pristine with huge formations, tight spots, and again, amazing views.
After we cleaned up and unplugged our home we headed into Chattanooga for lunch and to see the sights. Got some delicious ribs at "Sticky Fingers", and found out our blues names. I am "Big Liver River", Grey and Chris are "Sticky Killer River" and "Sticky Killer River JR." last but not least we have "Jailhouse Money River". No need to worry Grey got a shirt with the blues alaphabet so you can all figure out your names when we get back:)
Rode a train straight up Lookout Mountian, highest point in Tennessee. http://www.ridetheincline.com/. Quite a mile high trip. So far we have been to the highest point in Georgia (Brasstown Bald) and now the highest point in Tennessee, Lookout Mountain...at least we think we heard that during the train ride.
On the road again to Scottsboro...and we hit the Unclaimed Baggage store. This is the store that has all of the "goods" left by people in airports, on planes, etc. I am sure there were some good finds there to be found but I felt like I was at a giant good will store. Though they did have everything from lotion to rollar blades. It is amazing what people leave at the airport.
Now to visit with Mac and Melissa in Huntsville AL. The kids were so excited to go swimming when we got there....but mother nature had other plans. Chris has always talked about the storms in Huntsville, well we got to see them first hand. The water was coming down like a firehose was overhead, the streets had partially flooded on the parkway and we were spraying water all over the place.
Once we got to Mac's, the heavy stuff stopped, and finally after the thunder stopped we just let them get in the pool in the rain. Had a wonderful mexican dinner with friends. It was nice to take a real shower and sleep in a real bed!
More to come, we head to Gulfport MS for a day on the beach.
