Yeah, I would have been waiting for you at the entrance of any cave. You can shake the bridge all you want - that doesn't bother me, but I will happily
not look at any of your cave pictures again!
When I saw the very first one, I took a deep breath and just scrolled right on through quickly.
I'm glad you had fun with family, if you consider going into that underground death chamber fun!
sorry about that! i hope i didn't cause an anxiety attack.
I am not sure what would freak me out more -- being underground or having to walk across the swinging bridge (I am such a chicken at heart
)! I would like to get a Rock City barn ornament though.
The pics of you and Ray pretending to be Bear Grylls crack me up!
You are so right about the fairy tale scenes being slightly creepy -- what is up with those???
it didn't really swing - just sort of bounced a little bit. it's nothing like the bridge at tom sawyer island! ray and i just laugh so hard at bear grylls. he's so funny! have you seen the video of him when he gets stung by a bee? i will link it below....it's hilarious! i have no idea about the fairy tale stuff....creepy!
be sure to watch til the end...it's too funny!

Haha, Dawn...you want to know something funny? I actually did all that! B/F and his family made me!
I did love going across the shaky bridge and out onto Lookout Mountain to see all the states...but the cave part? Yeah, I was having a heart attack the whole time!
i'm sure you were! that's like me going into a room full of birds!
Dawn enjoyed this update. It brings back so many memories. I had been to Ruby Falls and Rock City as a child. When I got married 27 years ago this is where we went on our Honeymoon.Ha!! What can I say we were broke, so Disney was out of reach. I have all those same pics from our honeymoon and also when we took our kids a few years later. I agree with you about fairytale village it's kind of like a bad fairytale nightmare. It creeped me out too.
Thanks for the update and hope to hear about your trip tp Savannah. I've never been there.
cool! ray and i had a local honeymoon, too. we were supposed to go to disney (neither of us had been in over 10 years), but he got a new job about a month before we got married and didn't have a week's worth of vacation time. so we just had a long weekend in savannah (the first time we had been there and we've been going back ever since!). it was okay though - we took the money we had saved for disney and splurged on a bed and breakfast while we were there!
You must really love that boy!
i think that is the mt. we go over when we drive to FL?
very cool, pics i hav enever stopped there before.
erica already answered but that was monteagle. and monteagle is BEAUTIFUL to drive over. if you're heading east on I-24 on a sunny day, the drive down the mountain is just breathtaking, especially in the fall!
Very cool pics!!!!! I don't think I would like Ruby Falls, I'm claustrophobic too! But both places are beautiful! Looks like you had a great time!
it was pretty cool. thanks!
I don't think I would do well in the caves either....I wish I would because it looks so pretty! My husband's brother goes in unmapped caves FOR FUN! He crawles on his belly and all of that stuff....sleeps in caves. He is a teacher so during his summers off he maps out caves for someone in the area. I get freaked out everytime he talks about it.
yeah, i enjoyed it but i definitely wouldn't go in unmapped caves! i'm too much of a worry wart.
Oh wow! How gorgeous! I haven't been to a cave since I was in elementary school or junior high... So fun!
thanks! it was really pretty.
The one thing I remember is my cousin Jaime threw a coin into one of the pieces of water in there (pretty early on) and her wish was just to get her out of there and she would NEVER come back!! I will never forget that it was hilarious!! As a kid I remember liking it but I can see how it would be kind of creepy
It's been forever since I've been to Rock City, but I would like to go back. Mel and I are going to Chattanooga on the 10th but I'm not sure what all we will be doing.
that's too funny! cool....what are you guys going to chattanooga on the 10th for? you may have already told me and i don't remember.
Maybe those scenes were creepy because the figurines look like DEMONS...they seriously look scary. I'm with you on that one Dawn.
I love nature and God's creation! Thanks for the wonderful pix!
seriously! i'm glad i'm not the only one who thought they were freakish. and you're welcome!
yep your right it ismounteagle
but i do remeber signs for lookout,
we will be driving over thatin about 8 months exactly
it's really a cool little area and is only a few minutes off the interstate right before you get to downtown chattanooga. you guys should go!
Haha, the whole time in the cave, I kept saying, "I hate you. I hate you. Why did you make me do this?"
So I am just now getting in on this lovely trip report(s)!. I think you are great!! You sound like you really know how to have a good time! Right now I'm somewhere in the middle of June posts! But I just had to write and tell you that we are going this year Dec. 6th-11th at the WL! Thanks for keeping me so entertained!
Erica
thanks so much for reading!!! you guys will love disney in december....it's SO BEAUTIFUL! and staying at the WL.....
i can't wait 'til next year!
. But I just LOVE east TN....that is why I MUST get out to the Rocky Mt's someday!!! 
i'm SO READY for the beach!!! we both are. the jury is STILL out on that case i started almost 2 weeks ago. they've been deliberating since tuesday afternoon. but my boss is in court for me today because ray and i are going to try to leave by around 2:00 to beat atlanta traffic. oh, and believe it or not, when i get back i won't have a pile of work waiting on me! i have a few transcripts i've gotta work on but nothing pressing like i've had constantly for the last 3 months. so i can actually catch up on some of your TRs! i've missed you guys....can't wait to get back in the loop. i hope everyone has a nice weekend!
