Last Hurrah

I will admit, I am anxious to be home. In spite of that feeling, we spent the day as if it was our first on on the trip, meaning we did whatever we wanted to do and were not worried about time.

Leaving Nashville, we made our way to Chattanooga, TN, which was just going to be our lunch destination. We found our way to the part of the city called the North Shore and to a restaurant called the Brewhaus, a German place over looking the river. Pretty cool place.

Kids were ready for some food.

One of the cool things about this part of Chattanooga is that there are dance steps on the sidewalk. So we had to try it out.

Then we had to walk a little ways across the river.

And then a visit to the splash pad at the river front park.

After our visit, we made our way to Atlanta for a great dinner with Abby at Chateau Siagon, a Vietnamese place, which was amazing. (Thanks Abb!) And then it was on to Augusta for one more night away. 

Tomorrow, we pull back into our normal life in Charleston, SC (whatever that looks like), but I can promise you, this trip has provided us an opportunity to explore and be crazy and has drawn us closer together. People would roll their eyes and mumble something about us being crazy when I told them what we were doing before this trip. "18 days on the road? With two young kids? Sounds like..." Looking back, I can honestly say that our experiences have been far more amazing than I ever could have imagined and I would not want to change one part of it. Ok, so maybe I would check to see if the Big Apple Inn in Jackson, MS was open on Mondays. But other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. It has been a blast. And the bar is set incredible high. We figure four years from now we can look to do it all over again, maybe with a northern route next time.
