day trip to chattanooga

for grandaddy rousseau's 81st i traveled down to chattanooga for the day.

i got stuck at the train tracks close to their house. the sound of a train at night always reminds me of the weeks i would spend with them over the summer as a child.

you can see the earthquake cookies i made on the table, as well as the valentine sugar cookies. i didnt take enough close ups before everyone dug in.

bon anniversaire grand-pere rousseau!
