Family Reunion

Tom and I met with some of the Behrens' side of the family at the Cumberland Mountain State Park at the beginning of June. We gathered here 22 years ago, and now there are 2 more cousins, and everyone's grown up.

We visited the family cemetery - mostly to visit Grandma Lottie, but also it was nice to show Tom the names of so many of my family members. We learned of a few more folks that have passed more recently. And Dad reminded me of who a lot of folks were, and how the family tree looks - it's a big family, and understandably hard to keep straight.

We also spent time at the state park. A lot of the family time was spent playing a game that is (unfortunately) called cornhole. It is good fun. I'm quite awful. Uncle Jeff is the best trash-talker I've ever been around. It's like he's a trash-talking prodigy.

See Rock City

We traveled to Tennessee after our trip to Ohio. While we were there, we started our week with a trip to Chattanooga to See Rock City. I was last there in 1986. It's a fun natural amusement park. This time, Tom and I also went to Ruby Falls - a beautiful underground waterfall inside a cave under Lookout Mountain, GA.

It was a hazy day, so I don't think we could actually see all seven states. But we'll just pretend.

Our photos from this trip remind me a lot of the photos from 22 years ago.
