I thoroughly enjoyed my long awaited 3-day weekend in Tennessee. On Friday, Will and I drove to Chattanooga and spent the afternoon at the aquarium, undoubtedly one of my favorite tourist activities in any city.
That night, we enjoyed a delicious meal at Alleia. If anyone happens to be traveling to Chattanooga, you must visit this restaurant. We entered through a inconspicuous oak door, and the interior of the restaurant was equally minimalistic with the exception of a large table covered in candle wax.
Since I was not able to attend Raleigh's PurpleStride, I was so thrilled when Will planned our trip around Chattanooga's PurpleStride. At 9:30 Saturday morning, Will and I made our way to the opening ceremonies, where we were so glad to be joined by hundreds of hopeful and enthusiastic racers. The event raised over $48,000 for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
We ended our trip with a ride on the Incline Railway. The trolley took us to the top of Lookout Mountain and offered gorgeous views. It was a wonderful way to end an amazing weekend and say goodbye to Fall.
Thank you Will, for remembering Concetta's Dad and planning such a wonderful weekend in memory of him. Concetta, you look stunning in front of that wax table.
