Ruby Falls


 One of the neat things about Chattanooga is that there are so many things you can see and do as a family. On Saturday, we decided instead of unpacking,  that we would take the kids somewhere fun.  We headed up Lookout Mountain to a cavern called Ruby Falls.   This is a guided tour where an elevator takes you down over 170 feet into the mountain.  At the end of the tour is a large waterfall that is 145 feet high. The waterfall is named after the explorer's wife, Ruby.  They say it's America's highest underground waterfall.  The kids enjoyed it.  Nathan loves geology and Andrew has always talked about going cave exploring.  He wouldn't keep his hands out of the dirt and rocks along the path.  Barret was nervous and a little scared, but he began to relax toward the end. 
 




There were some tight spots and low spots in the cave. We all bumped our noggins a few times.




It's okay Barret.  A little cave bacon won't hurt you :)



I can't wait for the day to come when everyone can look at the camera together and smile
