As most of you know, I have lived in Alabama my entire life. Living here, our two prime vacation spots are the mountains of Tennessee and the beaches here in Bama. Well, for years (and I mean my whole life) when we have passed through Chattanooga to go to the mountains, I've seen signs everywhere that read "See Rock City" and "See Ruby Falls". What is Rock City and Ruby Falls? Well, thanks for asking. Ruby Falls is a lovely waterfall that a man stumbled upon while doing some digging inside of a pretty large cave. He named it Ruby Falls after his wife, you guessed it, Ruby.

| This nice man, fellow tourist, was from Canada and made lots of jokes while we were stuck in some pretty small spaces. |
 |
| After walking 2/5 of a mile in the cave, you finally reach the falls. It was beautiful. A little too commercial for me with the music and lasers, but still beautiful. |
Rock City is another nearby attraction. This area was founded by two missionaries. It is a natural rock formation that looks a lot like a city...made out of rocks.

| I was so excited to see some color in the leaves! |

| The Swing-A-Long Bridge was terrifying for me. I am a BIG baby when it comes to heights... |

| You can supposedly see seven states from the top of the mountain. And you really could see a LOT from up there! |

Rock City was my favorite part of the day. The weather was amazing and we couldn't have asked for anything better. The attractions were a bit pricey, but it was a really fun day! And I can now look at the "See Rock City" signs and say, "I finally did that!" All around, it was a pretty great weekend.
