Chattanooga

We spent last weekend in Chattanooga to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. I can't even believe it's been three years! Anyway, we stayed at a beautiful Bed & Breakfast downtown and spent the weekend relaxing and being tourists. There was also some delicious food and wine thrown in for good measure ;)
A few pictures of the fun....
The Stone Fort Inn, where we stayed.

View from the top of Lookout Mountain
This is me walking through "Fat Man's Squeeze". This is basically what Rock City is - a walking path through huge rocks and gardens. Part's of it are a bit cheesy but the view from the top is beautiful.

This is the Tennessee Aquarium. They have two buildings that look like this. One is the River Journey and the other is Ocean Journey. Both are great, although the ocean one is much shorter. Now maybe we'll actually visit the aquarium in our own town!

Happy Birthday Jackson!

Yesterday was Jackson's 2nd birthday. Our little boy is no longer a puppy....
Here's Jackson checking out his "birthday carrot"!


And enjoying said carrot. The dog is a freak for carrots, we usually give him baby carrots but for his birthday we decided to get him the real deal.

And here's his birthday dinner, inspired by Lucy's yummy-looking birthday dinner!


And now, off to Chattanooga for the weekend!

Happy Anniversary to us!

We made this last night to celebrate our 3rd anniversary

This was our first attempt cooking mussels at home and it was delicious! The recipe came from this very cute cookbook I found one day at Crate and Barrel.
If you like seafood, this is a great cookbook. Most of the recipes are simple and use fresh fish and vegetables - perfect for summer entertaining!

A low key weekend

Last weekend was fun but pretty low-key. We managed to get up for the Saturday 9AM yoga class (for the second Saturday in a row!) and then checked out the Green Market in Piedmont Park. I have to say, I was a little disappointed in the Green Market. We got some great fresh pasta but I was looking for more veggies. There's nothing like buying fresh produce from the farmer who picked it that morning!

Let's see, what else? I finally bought new running shoes in preparation for the Peachtree 10K in July, which I may or may not survive. And then we spent most of Sunday at the pool. I will say, looking on the bright side of things, that's the one benefit to still renting an apartment here. I'm hoping to convince the husband that we should buy a house with a pool ;)

It's Official....

There's no turning back now. After an interesting hour at the Department of Driver Services, we are now official residents of Georgia! Considering that just getting a driver's license took an hour, I'm not excited about the rest of the car registration process....
