Today was yet another wonderful day. Although we are staying in a small town called Hixon, we are only a short drive from downtown Chattanooga. We returned to the Bluff View Art District today to eat lunch at an amazing Italian restaurant called Tony's. Then we spent some time strolling along the beautiful riverside sidewalks. We also visited Kimberly's favorite used book store called McKay's and found some great books for great prices! After having some downtime, we went to have dinner at a pizza place called Lupi's. The pizza was awesome and the environment was very mellow. We were joined by Kimberly's brothers Mick and Allen, her sister-in-law Shannon, her father Gary and his wife Ivy, and our nieces Katie and Stephi. The pizza maker did crazy tricks with the dough and even gave our nieces some to play with. We spent a couple hours at Lupi's just catching up and spending time together. I love Kimberly's family! They are all so boisterous and funny, so there's never a dull moment.

Today was great day, but man . . . I'm beat!
