so after walking around rock city we headed down to Ruby Falls, the elevator took us down 620 feet and then we walked down to 1,120 feet below
this was the only structure you could touch
and a structure below that look like a donkey's butt :)
the guy who opened up ruby falls in the 1920's crawled through the cave in paths like the one below
that were 18 inches high and 5 feet wide for 17 hours (round trip) when he reached the water fall he named it ruby falls after his wife Ruby...awwww.
there were little streams and pools of water
Dashtyn of course thought everything was pookey
and he did hit his head once :( so did the guy in front of me...Ean did a good job ducking the whole time
these looked like beehives
and then we made it
Ruby Falls
it was beautiful
afterwards, it was an hour and 15min long, somehow the boys weren't' tired
I on the other hand was having awful hip pain, so they played at the park and we walked up a tower for one last view.
( that is the Tennessee river ...we rode a boat down it the next day!)
we ate at a brewery downtown, and they didnt take reservations and the wait was 45min so I went and waited and Ean and the boys walked 2 blocks to noodles and company to get our race packets for the race we were running in the morning. this ended up working out great they got there right as our drinks and appetizer were coming out!
dinner was a little rough and ean and I had to take turns leaving the restaurant with dash as he wouldn't' stop yelling FRENCH FRIES!! just because he knew it was naughty
they both fell asleep on the 5min drive home.
and we all went to bed at 9 :)
