Lookout Mountain

Last post of vacation!

 Let me clear up the Lookout Mountain mystery

So...it's a mountain...lol...on the mtn is Ruby Falls & Rock City...and a whole town..seriously, it's not just a mtn...they have a school and beautiful homes..and some war was fought up there or near there or something like that...at some park..lol...Point Park that is!

So we visited Rock City..which is hard to describe..it's sounds like it's a little rock garden...which it kind of is..BUT a rock garden on Steroids! They aren't really rocks...more like huge boulders!

Sorry for this out of focus picture..it's really the only one I have of the 3 boys...

taking a break along the path 

The path leads you over a suspended bridge...

which the chicken I am...I did not go on! I call it "smart"

Dad & Linda were not scared! 

Those crazy guys were jumping up and down making that thing swing and jump!

What were they thinking?? ...someone could have easily fallen over the edge of that thin little chain.  It could have come out of the rock and they all could have fallen to their death.  These things are just not safe! 

Lovers Leap 

You can see 7 states from this look out area..so they say..we could not verify that claim! 

Trent with the Easter Bunny 

No explanation needed... 

Trent broke a Geode open 

Steve & Trent down a tight spot in the rocks 

out on a suspended platform...ummm not safe either!!! 

The Incline Railway

this train goes up the side of the Lookout Mountain at a 72.7% grade.....that is why I'm taking the picture and not in the train! 

getting ready to go up 

See that house looking shape at the top ..well that's where they get off and look around...I waved to them from down below!

Trent purchased a purple Geode as a souvenir! 

We had a marvelous time together.  We spent time together as a family and made memories that will never be forgotten!  Thanks for going along Grandpa & Grandma!
