Our 10th

We had a wonderful 10th anniversary. The boys stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's and we stayed at a bed and breakfast in Mentone, the Mountain Laurel Inn. We stayed there on our honeymoon-the first night. A long day of wedding bliss, long drive from Jackson and well we didn't remember much about the stay-except "the Baskerville" fog that had settled over Lookout Mountain. We only stayed there one night and the next day we drove to Brevard... So long story short, we weren't there long.

This time, ten years later, we stayed two nights and had time to enjoy the area. We drove along the "scenic highway" (it was a little disappointing, considering we thought it would have lookouts, etc.) to Chattanooga and went to the battlefield park and walked around. That night we had dinner in an old farmhouse that had been converted to a restaurant, we had a little room all to ourselves---Incredibly good food! The next day we drove the Little River Canyon. It was what we expected from the "scenic Highway".

It was a wonderful, refreshing time. We hadn't gotten away without the kids so this was our first time without having to deal with all the kid things for a few days. They survived (kids and grandparents) and Zack got to go to his first movie, Charlotte's Web.
Sammy had a little harder time, he was looking for us a good bit.

I can't your wedding was 10 years ago. I still remember we got no sleep the night before and the wedding was really early. Good times. Happy anniversary! I miss you!
