Fun weekend!

We had an awesome weekend!  It started off Friday evening with dinner with friends at Tony's Italian restaurant and off to the Double Decker Ghost tour.  The tour lasted an hour and they drove us around downtown Chattanooga (it was an awesome clear night, a bit on the nippy side but with a jacket it was fine) and told us about Chattanooga's history and different ghost tales.  Ending the ride with Monster Mash and Thriller booming on the speakers!  Right before we jumped off the bus for the night we were handed a Double Cola and Moon Pie (both originated in the wonderful city of Chattanooga).




Tye didn't enjoy it too much because he said it wasn't all about scary ghost stories and they had too many pauses in between.  But I think it was perfect...I liked the little bits of history that was added that I didn't know about and the little pauses gave me time to enjoy the night air and the beautiful city lights.  All in all I'm giving it 5 star rating.

So Saturday I spent the day with my mom (aka mother-in-law) riding around looking for property and a lunch date to Countryside Restaurant.  If you have never eaten at Countryside you are missing out - and sadly we missed out as well on Saturday.  They were closed due to a family wedding...sad for me but happy day for them I'm sure because it was such a beautiful day.  Okay this little family owned restaurant is up in Ooltewah and is a meat and 3 good ole fashion home cooking place.  Must go to!  Unfortunately, we ended up eating...law...I can't even remember...oh yeah I remember...Red Lobster.  Aha...it was okay but definitely not Countryside that is for sure!

That evening Tye and I went to catch a movie...Money Ball.  It ended up being long but well worth seeing...we both enjoyed the movie.

Sunday...church.  And to my surprise my best friend and her husband came to visit.  It was a wonderful service - we had a local family band perform for the service and it was so moving.  For evening service about 40 or so of the church meet up at the Rave to watch the new movie Courageous.  It is a must see movie...I laughed hysterically, I cried, and everything in between.  It has a beautiful message.  Tye and I both liked the movie a lot.

So there you go...my fun, wonderful weekend.  Sorry I completely forgot about taking pictures but I've posted some I've found on the Internet.  God bless and have a wonderful rest of the day!
