A Nice Break

I live for love vacations. I even love those mini-trips that most people wouldn’t even consider a ‘vacation.’ We were only in Chattanooga a day, but it felt wonderful to get out of the house and let the kids explore.

First thing that morning, Ross and Rayna climbed to the window to get a better view of the city. bcdsc_0239
Despite the age difference, Rayna is determined to keep up with Ross. Whether it’s climbing ladders, getting new tattoos (see arm) or just getting wet… bcdsc_0296

…she will eventually go for it! bcdsc_0299

Since I broke my #1 rule (“Take your camera everywhere“) and left my camera in the car during our trip to the Tennessee Aquarium, I’ll explain what would have been the most gorgeous image from the trip:

Ross standing in front of the huge tank casually watching the little ‘sea fish’ swim by…
All of a sudden, a HUGE shark slowly appeared right in front of Ross…
(Are you with me?! Do you see where I’m going?!)
…Ross’ tiny silhouete in front of this glowing blue water with a enormous shark right in front of him.
(Can’t wait to go back with my camera!)
