Chattanooga






This past weekend we made a trip to Chattanooga. It is only 2 and half hours away. We had a great time! We stayed in a hotel which was a lot of fun for the boys. It had a indoor pool that came in very handy, especially since it rained most of the weekend.

We were able to see a few of the things that Chattanooga is known for. One being the aquarium. I have been to a few aquariums and I vote Chattanooga's as being the best. The lay out they have is great and there is so much to see.

We went to The Children's Discovery Museum which has a lot of hands on for the kids. Go figure, the boys really liked the dinosaur exhibits.

We also went to see the Chattanooga Choo Choo. There is a lot of history which is really neat and quite a few old trains to see.

If you get a chance, I would highly recommend Chattanooga for the day or even the weekend. Things are pretty close together and easy to get to.

Rybak Family Beach Trip






Let me start out by saying sorry for being such a slacker with blogging. I really do want people to see pics of the boys and know what is going on. For those of you who haven't caught on, my maiden name is Rybak.

We went down to Grayton Beach with my brother and his family for a week of sun, fun, and relaxation. We had an awesome time and such great weather. We definitely kept ourselves busy with swimming, playing in the sand, flying kites, playing in the ocean, spotting some sea life, eating out, going on a pontoon boat, and just spending some quality time together.

My brother and his family live north of Chicago. It was a 15 hour car trip down to the beach. I'm thinking it was well worth the drive. Looking forward to more family vacations-both the Rybak and Heald side.
