Summer Vacation Day 12- Last Stop

Day 12 was our last day of vacation! We
stopped at the Birmingham Zoo and then
ate a steak dinner before coming home.
The zoo had this tube slide you could do for
$3...not sure it was worth that but the kids
enjoyed it.

Summer Vacation Day 11- Panning for Gold

After Avery's birthday celebration we
stopped to pan for gold and gemstones
before starting our voyage back home. 



Summer Vacation Day 11- Babyland General Hospital

Happy Birthday to our baby girl! She
turned 5 on our vacation and instead of a
birthday party she choose to visit the
Cabbage Patch Hospital to pick out a new
baby. So that is what we did on Day 11.
We visited Babyland General Hospital in
Helen, GA. She adopted a baby boy and
named him Elliot Joseph Gaines. 










Summer Vacation Day 10 contined

After we left Rock City we traveled through Georgia
and stopped for a quick visit with Margaret, Meredith,
Uncle Trey and Aunt Beth. We also stopped to look
around Uncle Trey's museum. While we were there
Aaron found a Geocache too.




Summer Vacation Day 10- Rock City

Day 10 we spent the morning at Rock City in
Chattanooga, TN. The kids LOVED it. It really is one
of my favorite places to visit.  Just something unique
to see. 










Summer Vacation Day 9 Continued- The Lost Sea Adventure

After the Ark we traveled to Tennessee and
stopped at the Lost Sea Adventure. It was
a cave tour with a lake at the bottom of it.
It had about 200 fish that they brought in and
they feed them dog food. They had a glass
bottom boat to ride out on the lake but it was
really dark so we couldn't see to much.
After we left Avery said she did not want to
go in anymore caves haha!

Summer Vacation Day 9... THE ARK ENCOUNTER

Day 9 we finally made it to the ARK! This was our
main reason for traveling to this part of the US. The Ark
just opened a few weeks ago so they will be adding alot
more in the future but man was it AWESOME! This was
the highlight of the trip for Andrew and I. The smell of
the wood is permanently etched in my brain. It really
brought the story of Noah to live for us. We can't
wait to go back in a few year to see how much more
they add to it.
