The Infamous Starbucks

So, I'm pretty sure I've said it before, but my grandparents live in the boondocks. 
Literally.
They live on top of Lookout Mountain in a secluded area.
The only stoplight is 10 miles away and their nearest neighbor is probably 3 miles.
It's legit. 
Anyways, like I said friday, there are plenty of tourist attractions on the Tennessee side of the mountain (about 45 minutes away). We always laugh at this sign that's posted:

Yeah, you see that?
Starbucks is a tourist attraction.
It has it's own sign, for goodness sakes!

So, we can't be that much in the boondocks if there is a Starbucks, right?



So after we visited Rock City, we decided to hit up the infamous Starbucks.
Because, I mean, how could we miss it?!?!?!


Of course, we had to have our picture taken in front of it!

The boys ordered Mocha Cookie Crumble and Strawberries and Creme "Milkshakes" 
I think they thoroughly enjoyed them. 


Mocha Light Frapp for me :)


I love this picture. No not because of me, but of what's captured behind me.
Doesn't it look like Sweet Matthew is contemplating what he's reading in the New York Times?
;)


I'd say our trip to the Infamous Starbucks was a success.

Our Visit to Rock City In Pictures

 My grandparents live on top of Lookout Mountain on the Georgia side. It's really quite lovely. It's very serene and quiet. However, on the Tennessee side near Chattanooga, there are several different tourist attractions like Ruby Falls, the Incline Railway and Rock City. 
While we haven't been to most of them, my grandparents decided to indulge us in a trip to see Rock City.
I was prepared to be bored the entire time, thinking that all we would be doing was staring at rocks for a few hours.
Boy, was I wrong!
It was actually quite amazing. The landscaping was awesome and the flowers were breathtaking, but the coolest part was all of the rocks! There were tight squeezes, and even an over look where you could see 7 different states!
Anyways, I'll stop talking now and just share some pictures of our trip. 

























Thank you Nana and Papa for such an amazing time!
