March 13-15, 2009

(A gift that, Chase and I can enjoy also!!!)

MySpace Countdown Clocks

We are going for 3 days - 2 nights to Chattanooga...

I told the kids last night what we were doing and they are so excited they were both talking about this morning getting ready for school.

Joe and I are each taking a day off work. (Me=Friday, Him=Sunday)

We are going to leave at nap time on Friday morning and I will drive up so Joe can rest (he will not get home until Friday early AM) and the kiddies can nap. That should (if I do not get lost)put us there are lunch time. We can grab a quick bite to eat for lunch and then head to the children's museum Creative Discovery Museum (http://www.cdmfun.org/)

After that we can check into the hotel the Sheraton Read House!

Where the hotel is located at we will be one of the stops for the free downtown trolley/bus/train thing. For the day(s) that we go to the Creative Discovery and the Tennessee Aquarium we will not even have to drive ourselves! I love that!

So here is what we are thinking for our fun filled weekend in Tennessee:

Friday:

Have a quickie lunch.

I know I drive Joe crazy with my over the top planning for trips with who, what, when, where, how much, how to get there, how to get back...but he as never gotten lost, run out of money or had a bad time!



So the whole family is excited... &

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAYDEN & JOE!

Oh yeah 1 more thing: I asked Joe's parents if they wanted to go and that Joe did not know that I was planning a trip to Chattanooga...Joe found out b/c he saw where his dad asked off for that weekend too!! So maybe one day I can plan a surprise getaway for JOEY BOY.
