I have made many, many trips to Chattanooga, TN. But for some reason I have never been to Rock City. While Kevin was on his ridiculously long European business trip, Kaylee and I made the trip. We only had a day and a half but one on one time with any of my kids is such a rarity, I cherish every moment. We rode the incline railway and spent some time at Lookout Mountain on Saturday. That evening we were supposed to attend a murder mystery dinner theatre thing. Kaylee was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I did not factor in the impossibility of finding a parking spot in downtown Chattanooga on a Saturday night. I finally parked somewhere near Atlanta and we started walking. The second mistake I made was trusting my friggin GPS on my cell phone. Needless to say, we missed the show. But we did see a large portion of downtown while we wandered around for the better part of an hour. We joyously made it back to our car and headed back to the hotel. Kaylee was a really good sport about the whole thing which made me feel much better.

Sunday morning, we went to Rock City. I was completely awestruck. It is just simply amazing. I would not compare Rock City to the Grand Canyon but both of those place left me with the overwhelming knowledge that my God is an extravagant God. I am so humbled by His creation. I also realized something important about Kaylee. I am crazy in love with that kid. She makes me laugh. She makes me think. She sleeps while I drive.
