I just got back from an amazing trip to Tennessee with my sisters and mom. The four girls (me, Brittany, Mindy, Amy) and mom flew into Chattanooga on May 28th, 2014, to surprise Melanie, our oldest sister, for her birthday. Her husband took her out to dinner on the pretense of having a couples date when really her five sisters and mom were waiting at a table for them! It was a very happy and tearful reunion! :) (Above: Amy (our sister-in-law who we love!), me, Mom (holding Mindy's baby, Ririe), Melanie, Brittany, Mindy.)
The next day we chatted and played in their backyard pool and then went to visit Red Clay State Park. This is where the Cherokee Trail of Tears really began. Here we are standing next to the Cherokee's sacred Blue Hole (spring).
Happy Birthday to my sweet sister, Melanie!
That night the five girls chatted until 3:30 in the morning! This was by far my favorite part of our little trip. This is what being a sister is all about. I love these girls so much!
The next day we spent in downtown Chattanooga doing perfectly girly things. First we stopped off for a snack at Rembrandt's Cafe. We sat in a quaint garden with beautiful, tall Crepe Myrtle trees around us.
Then we went to the Hunter Museum of American Art. Something our husbands wouldn't be very interested in, but we relished it together! This painting, Burning of the Philadelphia, by Edward Moran, was my personal favorite.
We went to dinner at Tupelo Honey Cafe where we enjoyed awesome Southern cooking! (in order: Amy, Mindy, Erin, Melanie, Brittany, and Mom.) Afterward, we wandered around and looked through the little shops in the area.
I had such a wonderful time with my favorite women ever. I love you ladies!
