Sunday Zac and I went to the Botanical Gardens in Huntsville. I can now mark that off my list. That place is so beautiful, but it was soooo hot! We were both drenched by the time we got done walking all of it. I really enjoyed the nature walks and the aquatic garden was very nice. One of my favorite parts was seeing the Garden of Hope which was designed by and dedicated to cancer patients. It was very beautiful and inspiring.
After we rested up from our Botanical Gardens trip we decided we would head to the Monaco to watch a flick. Zac and I both wanted to see the new X-Files movie since we have both watched every episode of the series. The movie wasn't playing in the VIP section so we settled for the regular showing. The movie was good, but I have to say I prefer the Rave theatre to the Monaco. I just wasn't that impressed with it. I may feel differently when I visit the VIP area.
Monday, we visited Mama for a while and ate lunch with her. Zac doesn't get to see her very often so we thought this would be a good time to catch up. After that we decided to head back to Zac's house.
Today, we went to downtown Chattanooga to eat dinner with Zac's mom at The Mellow Mushroom. I love this restaurant! They serve the best pizza ever! Although I was excited about our trip to the Mushroom I was not so excited about some of the other events that happened while we were up there. I had noticed on our way into Downtown that there were more homeless looking people around than I usually see when we visit. I mentioned it to Zac and he kinda just shook it off. It put me on my guard. Zac and I found a parking lot quickly, but there was not an attendant there and we did not have 5 dollars in change or 5 dollars bills period to put into the very small holes that are assigned to each parking space. We decided we would get the change at the restaurant and pay it when we came back. So, we ate. And then we went to Ben and Jerry's to get some delicious ice cream. While we were sitting in front of the store eating our desserts this freako woman comes up to us and tells us that she is the only "street poet" in Chattanooga and she would like to share some of her poetry with us in return for some money so that she could get out of the rain! OMG!!! Zac, being the very soft hearted man he is tells her to proceed. So, she recites this very crappy short poem for us. It was soooo awkward!!!!!!!! So, Zac gave her some money and I thought she was going to walk away. Oh noo!!! She then sees our leftovers from the Mushroom and says, " I see you have some leftovers. If you don't want them I'll take them." Can you believe this? I quickly interrupted her and told her that we wanted our leftovers. I was not letting that psycho get my pizza! The nerve of her!!! Then to top it all off when we got back to our car we had gotten a parking ticket!!! Even though we got a ticket we had a good time and I will definitely never forget the freako street poet! I hope all the Bloggers are having a good week!
*** James and Amanda - has there been anything interesting going on the school? :)
