The 'Noog

We headed to Chattanooga last weekend to celebrate Minnesota's birthday. Our first destination brought us to Lookout Mountain Flight Park on Lookout Mountain where we anxiously awaited our instructions as to next steps on our tandem hang gliding adventures.

Turns out, we would NOT be jumping off the cliff, but rather would be starting our flight from the ground, 2,000 feet below Lookout Mountain Flight Park.

Both of us got suited up in our safety gear.

A small plane towed us up to altitude and then the pilot cut the rope and each of us, and our "instructor" floated effortlessly above the treetops. The views were spectacularly breathtaking.

We spent a lot of time on the porch at the adorable bed and breakfast (Bluff View Inn) where we stayed.

The Bluff View Inn was located in the arts district of Chattanooga - the grounds surrounding the district were so beautiful.

Per usual, we sought out our favorite tantalizing treats: ice cream, donuts and cupcakes.

Of the three, the cupcakes were the worst. Too much icing. Blech.

It was hella hot last weekend, so my umbrella made an appearance. I love my umbrella!
