Since I knew that I would be off on Friday, the 25th, I made plans to drive up to Chattanooga, eat linner (lunch + dinner, the meal that happens at 3 pm in the afternoon) at Lily Mae’s (the best fried catfish & tartar sauce in the world), and meet Kourtney’s boyfriend (and loooongtime good friend), Brian.
It might sound crazy to drive all the way to Chattanooga to for dinner, but I think it is a great idea! It is only about a 3.5 hour drive, which is totally doable in one day, even spur-of-the-moment. It also makes me feel like I’m not that far away from my family (I’m not!). Originally I was planning to drive up to Chattanooga, spend the night with Kourt, and drive back to Tuscaloosa the next morning, but then I was able to talk Brent into going at the last minute. Yay! We left around noon to make it to Lily Mae’s for an early 4 pm dinner (3 pm our time!).
After Lily Mae’s, me, Brent, Kourtney & Brian went to Coolidge Park & the walking bridge. I absolutely love this part of town. I got engaged here, after all! So many good memories. I could totally see us living in Chattanooga one day.
[It was about this time when a bird pooped on my head as I was walking down the bridge. Nasty. Why always me?!]
Of course we stopped for ice cream before heading back across the bridge!
Then we said goodbye and headed back home!
We will have to do this more often!
