FAMILY TRIP

September 24th - 25th: David took vacation this week so he could spend some time with Avery and me. We decided to take our first (and last) family trip to Chattanooga. It is now official who wears the pants in the Diamond household: AVERY. She was a doll on the drive up and even slept most of the time we were walking around town. However, once night fell she turned on us. She was not willing to go to bed no matter what we tried and we tried it all. Finally, we resorted to taking her for a car ride. We decided if that did not work we were going to drive home that night. Thankfully she went to sleep and stayed that way till morning. On Thursday we went to Rock City (one of our most favorite places) and had such a good time. Avery really liked walking around and seeing all the rocks. We were lucky the weather was nice and there was a great breeze. Avery fell asleep leaving Rock City so David and I thought we could take a nap as well since we were both exhausted. As soon as our heads hit the pillow, Avery awoke and was fussy so we decided to grab lunch and head back home. We cut our first family trip short so Avery could come back home and be fussy. We are headed to Savannah, GA in December for David's graduation so I hope we can get her under control by then. Below are some pictures of our short lived trip.
Avery is in awe of the big rocks.
We can see 7 states. Can you name the 7?
Our family in front of Lovers Leap. It has a story like Romeo and Juliet except for the Cherokee people.
Avery and Mommy. Avery is more interested in chewing on her hands then taking a picture.

I think Brian and I have had that exact experience on a "vacation." These little ones have a way of making things interesting, if nothing else1
