Family Vacation 2009 Scrapbook Album

Family Vacation 2009 Scrapbook Album

 

We took a vacation to Chattanooga, Tennessee!!

 

A little background info:  My oldest son who was 11 at the time, had just crossed over from Cub Scouts to a new Boy Scout Troop!!  This was their summer trip they had planned!!  I had some reservations about him going on this far away trip with mere strangers!!  We had only know the troop for a couple months!!  So, instead of not letting him go, my husband and I decided to go also!!  However, we did not go WITH them, we just went to the same place at around the same time!!  We also visited some of the same places they did, just on different days or times.  We did meet up with them a few times though!!

 

So, here is our trip!!

 

This is an 8 1/2 by 11 scrapbook album.  The photo on the front was taken by my younger son at the family plantation on my husband's side of the family!!  We were able to stop and see some of his family who live in the area also on our trip!!

 

 

This is the first page of my album!!  Just a few sightseeing photos!!  One is of the Delta Queen which is usually docked here in Ohio, but this particular week it was in Chattanooga!!

 

The Incline Railway!!  Beautiful scenery from the top of Lookout Mountain!!

This is Point Park!!  There is such a sadness associated with this park!!  Ulysses S. Grant was on this very land!!

 

Rock City anyone?  Such beautiful scenery!!  Yeah, that's my men trying to hold up boulders!!  Believe it or not, you can see 7 states from just one place here!!

Ruby Falls!!  We were only about 1120 feet below the ground!!  Then, the beautiful waterfall!!

The Tennessee Aquarium!!  The butterfly exhibit was my absolute favorite!!

All aboard the Tennessee Valley Railroad!!!  Yes, we took a ride on a train!!  We even learned about the turntable and was able to watch it in action!!

The Southern Belle cruise!!  It's about a 90 minute cruise on the Tennessee River!!

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park!!  Lots of battles were fought here!!

This is the last page of our trip!!  More sightseeing photos of bridges and neat looking buildings and things!!

 

I hope you enjoyed our trip!!  I know we did!!  And we still enjoy it every time we look at this amazing scrapbook album!!  We can relive the moments over and over!!  You can too!!  Go ahead and make a scrapbook album of a trip you've taken!!  I promise you will love it and relive it again and again for years to come!!
