Chattanooga

Last weekend we traveled to my Chattanooga Tennessee for my cousin Matt's wedding.  Tennessee was a first for not only Riley but Kris and I too so we were excited to get to explore a new state.

Being the expert flyer that she is now, Riley did really well on the plane and also in the car on the 2 hour drive from Nashville.  Lucky for all of us, there was lots of fun to be had once we got there.  Alot of our family made the trip too, so Riley was also excited to spend the weekend surrounded by Aunts, Uncles, cousins and Gigi and Popdaddy.  We spent the first day checking out their world renowned aquarium and Riley loved that all of the tanks were at eye level and she could get right up close. 

The wedding was really pretty and the reception was held at a very cool art gallery.  Riley had a great time daancing the night away in her party dress!

On Sunday, we got to spend the day checking out some of the other Chattanooga attractions, including the longest pedestrian bridge, a sculpture park with a very cool carousel and a riverboat called the Delta Queen.

Riley's first carousel ride. 

She was not too sure about the whole thing, but it was an experience none the less

The Delta Queen was retired from operation about a year ago, but now it's a hotel.  What fun place that would to stay

Checking out the view from the bridge, it was a long way down

Brrrr....mommy and Riley walking across the bridge.  It was really, really cold that day!

What a beautiful place to visit, we had a great time and we felt so lucky to get to be there for Matt and Ashley's wedding.
