Wine Over Water

I'm back from Chattanooga.  Here's some scoop ...

The hotel was great -- rooms were spacious, easy walk to Wine Over Water and central to everything we did (Chattanooga is a small city).

We gathered at my cousin's friend's house (she was dog sitting for her out-of-town friend).  We celebrated my DIL's birthday.

Birthday!

Cake!  It was better than
I expected.

Beautiful house.  Perfect weather.

We went downtown for lunch and shopping.

Wine Over Water was disappointing though.  Very few wine vendors with such small pours it was stupid.  Mostly vodka soda drink and other junk drinks.  Only 4 food vendors who ran out of food very quickly.  That's our last year going.  It was also impossible to keep the big group together too.  Total chaos. 

We attempted a dinner at the hotel after because there was little food at the event, but it was cold and the food was horrible.

Next morning we gathered for coffee and breakfast at a cute downtown place.  Checked out of the hotel and stopped at a very crowded Octoberfest market.  It was fun but we were all overwhelmed.  Even leaving was a gridlocked parking lot and it was too much.

Driving home we pass a Buc-ees and since none of us have ever been, we stopped.  Crazy, but fun.  It's like nothing I've ever seen.

We had about an hour turn around time and headed to dinner with my family to celebrate DIL.  Dinner was outside and a nice night.  Food, service, weather, company was great.  It was a good way to end the weekend.

I slept and am sort of back to the land of the living.  One more social day.  It'll be a quieter day but I'm over my threshold so anything feels like too much.  Lunch with my sister and aunts, more shopping and a visit to my aunt's house so my sister can see her artwork.  

Hanging on ... later gators.
