This year our April getaway to find spring was to Alabama and Tennessee. At Little River Canyon National Preserve amphibians were everywhere, like this skink
and this anole
Not sure about the Junior Boatman, but the Lunar Ranger patch is awesome
4.3 calories and 1% of your dietary protein per fried cricket
Russell Cave National Monument described the archaeological findings accumulated from 10,000 years of Native American habitation
The Paleo-Indian on their JR badge was pretty cool, too
There were no tears shed during our stay in Chattanooga
For our night in the 'Nooga we stayed in a renovated Pullman car
at the wonderfully entertaining
The Choo-Choo was better than Fanueil Hall or Fisherman's Wharf
with in-room climbing challenges
and hundreds of singing toads outside
The 'Nooga aquarium specialized in freshwater aquatic life and we saw many reasons to steer clear of Southern swamps, like alligator snapping turtles. Even their saltwater exhibits were better than the New England Aquarium.
At Lookout Mountain in the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, our 4th grader picked up her Kid in a Park pass
Back home to Boston for a rainy Easter egg hunt
On another rainy day Tessie walked part of the Freedom Trail
Boston Massacre site
rainy local goat farm
good rainy day activity: truing a crooked wheel
rainy Mother's Day lunch
On rainy evenings we played Nancy Drew games
Heather and Erin traveled to Atlanta for niece Jenna's high school graduation
Grandpa Mike and Nana came up from Florida
The Gray clan was in town
Love the mechanical switchboard that once controlled the Chattanooga railyard
