I am on vacation this week. Yay! It has been eight months since I've had a week off from work, so I was more than ready for some rest and relaxation. I made a list of things to do, but it includes mostly fun things to do with the grandchildren and lunch with friends, etc. Yesterday my daughter and grandson and I went to Desoto Falls, which is less than a two hour drive from where we live, right on top of Lookout Mountain, near Chattanooga. We also went on a scenic drive through the Little River Canyon and stopped at several overlooks. I even ran into a friend and her husband riding their motorcycle through the hills. Talk about a small world! Our little day trip and stopping for lunch on the way home, was less than eight hours. I had time to pick up paint at Lowe's and made it home in plenty of time. I plan on going back in the fall, wearing comfortable shoes and when the weather is cooler.
I have to say that Alabama has some beautiful scenery. Who would have guessed that we have canyons and waterfalls and gorgeous scenery only a short drive away?

I took this picture of my grandson, the budding photographer.
Don't worry, it's the camera angle.

This waterfall is over 100 feet long.
Next time I hope to walk on the trail and get views from the bottom.
