Chattanooooooga!

This past weekend Jordan and I head to Chattanooga to visit my best friend Whitney! We left Thursday after lunch and returned on Sunday afternoon. Our trip there was a bit strange. We went from NC to SC to GA back to NC then FINALLY TN! At least we made it safely :) We had a hotel room for Thursday and Friday and stayed with Whitney on Saturday night. Friday morning we got up and ready and set out to find a McDonald's for breakfast. I have never NOT been able to find a McDonald's. The only fast food we could find for breakfast was a Bojangles so we grabbed a bite to eat and headed up the mountain to ROCK CITY. Basically it was a garden of rocks with a few flowers and a Spectacular view of 7 states! I really enjoyed this place but was irritated with the immature middle school/teenagers that were EVERYWHERE! I wanted to stop and take pictures and enjoy my time but they wouldn't allow it. It was still my favorite "attraction" of the day I believe. Next we headed on to RUBY FALLS. We had a tour guide that took us down this elevator into the side of a mountain and then we walked about a mile underground to the awesome waterfall. I enjoyed this attraction but was upset that they only keep the lights on so you can see the waterfall for like 5 minutes then you have to go back out. Our final attraction on the triple play ticket was the incline railway. I was not excited about this nor did I enjoy it that much. The incline railway is the worlds steepest incline railway at 72% incline on a mile long track. Of course it isn't that steep until about halfway up the mountain. I was scared to death when we got to the top that the cable would break and we would go speeding down the hill and end up at the bottom going across the road and crashing into the building in front of us. We made it safely to the top and went in the gift shop, checked out the observation deck, then climbed aboard for the ride back down the mountain. Needless to say, we made it back down safely. I wasn't very impressed with a mile ride up, gift shop, observation deck, and a mile ride back down. O well! I can say I have been there and done that.
After our triple play attractions, we headed downtown to walk around and explore the city. We met up with Whitney for supper at the Genghis Grill. AMAZING! You pick out your veggies, meat and even your sauce and starch then hadn't it to them to cook. It was sooooo good! After supper Whitney showed us around a little then we headed back to the hotel.
Saturday morning was breakfast at the Cracker Barrel with Whitney then while she was at work we went to the other side of the city, I believe its called North Shore. Took more pictures, IN THE RAIN, then met back with Whitney for supper again at the Genghis Grill. Jordan wanted it again and since it was soooo good I was totally cool with that. We didn't do much after supper. We went back to Whitney's apartment since we didn't have a hotel for that night, rented a movie, watched it, and went to bed. We didn't sleep well that night but its OK. Up about 7:30 and hit the road! We stopped at a huge flea market and the Tanger outlet then back to Mom and Dads to pick up the children, our dogs that is. Roxie, Chase and Bandit were happy to see us and we were happy to see them. We missed them!
Our trip had ended and Jordan and I had a great time together! I will post a few pics of our trip later on...

a few more weekend pics...

Free weekend!

A little about our weekend...Friday we worked then went to Matt & Emily's engagement party then watched the Nationwide race. Saturday, an actual Saturday without racing. Not that I dont prefer to be racing of course but it was nice to have time to relax and get a little spring cleaning finished. Saturday we cleaned all day and took MawMaw and PawPaw out to eat at Rancho. This was for PawPaws late Birthday present. We had a great supper then to Walmart for groceries. Sunday we went to Sunday School and Preaching then to town to Platos Closet and LongHorn. We got back home for a nap and then to the barn. I had to give Eyeda a bath and Jordan went to help. Jordan decided to leave the gate open so we chased Eyeda around for 20 minutes. GRR!! Chasing a loose horse is not fun! Anyways, we finally got the halter on her and brushed her down real good and gave her a bath. It was so pretty outside so I didnt mind taking a little longer to get her clean. We visted with Mom and Dad for a few minutes then headed home. I made Chicken Al-La King for Bubba then washed the dishes. After supper we watched Blindside and I cleaned the living room. Wow, I havent been in a cleaning mood in a long time but im glad I was because I like a clean house...I just dont like to clean it ;) Last episode of Madhouse at 11 then bedtime and up early for the work week!

Easter Weekend

So Im a little behind....But catching up now! We had a great week last week. Bubba called me on Wednesday and asked me to take off Thursday so he could take me to the beach! Up at 6 on Thursday and to Myrtle Beach for the night. We went shopping, laid by the pool went to the arcade and walked on the beach. We had a great time! Friday morning we had breakfast at our usual Spring House then headed to Dillon, SC for open UARA practice. Since Jordan is helping out with Dad's team (Robert Johnson) he was busy all day and I took pictures most of the day. The Johnsons took us out to eat Friday, we got rested up then back to the track on Saturday morning. Robert qualified 11th and ran about 9-11 in the race until about 50 to go, then, he got wrecked. I was asked to take victory lane photos but as soon as that was over we loaded up and headed out. We made it back to the house about 12:30 Easter Morning. Up for church, took some pictures of my cousins(Jordan, Chad and Ashton) then Mawmaw and Pawpaws for Easter lunch. we hunted eggs and visited with everyone then to Jordans parents and grandparents for a while.
Monday was back to work then Justin, Brandi and Lexie came over to visit.
