Lucy and I took a mini vacation this week by accompanying Joe to Chattanooga for a convention he attended. While he was working, we spent time with my family, which was really nice. We stayed at the Marriott at the Chattanooga Trade and Convention Center, which was a really nice hotel. The beds were *so* comfortable, and Lucy particularly loved them.

Lucy also enjoyed watching cartoons.

And in the morning, she made sure to check out the day’s news.

I was hoping to do more with Lucy, like taking her to Coolidge Park, but it was just too cold. We’ll get down there once it warms up.

On Tuesday night, my brother, Randy, came down to babysit while Joe and I went out to The Terminal Brewhouse for dinner. It was a great restaurant, and it was fun spending more time with my brother. He had a great time with Lucy, too.

It wasn’t a real vacation since Joe was working, but it was a nice little break. I hate having to go back to work now! At least there are only two days left in the week.
