this weekend i road tripped it up to chattanooga! finally. and it was filled with adventures, insanely delish food, laughs galore, an introduction to glee starting with the first episode {dare i say it... i'm a gleeker. "who is josh groban?? kill youself." }, and just plain old good fun with friends i wish i saw everyday. plus it doesn't hurt that the city is gorgeous and filled with good eats like MOJO BURRITOS {it's like moe's only freasher, better, cheaper, and did i say better? i want one now!} and aretha frankensteins where wait and hour and half for gigantor pancakes doesn't seem insane {when i say the pancakes were 5 inches thick they were 5 inches thick. plus they were jam packed with blueberries... so check off your daily fruit needs as you dig in to a fluffy cloud of delicious drenched in syrup and obviously some buttttah. paula would be proud!}
first thing first? hiking adventure into the depths of the wild jungle where lost is actually filmed! {okay maybe not but we found a perfect cave for sawyer to stash his stolen goods} but guess what.. tenneesee is beautiful!
THE BLUE HOLE.
we made it!
after i took a tumble crossing the water.
{of course!}
i almost lost a sock too. unbeknownst to me!
{thanks andrew for the quick rescue!}
hannah and erin {and virg} being oh so brave and jumping off the cliff. something i was to terrified {mostly of the icy cold water to do. ONE DAY!}

and you know a weekend isn't complete without a little baking.
orange cupcakes that is!
orange smiles for orange cupcakes!
late night volleyball...
...where some of us took the opportunity to play 20 questions {where i chose cheetos and have consequently not stopped craving them ever since. must breakdown and buy them asap!} and simply die of laughter! i may or may not have been sore the next morning die to all the laughing.

reunited!
basically preparing for a week filled with papers and test after i weekend like that is like locking me up in meat filled room where i'm forced to eat gherkin pickles and watch south park and dancing with the stars combined. on repeat. i just want to go back to chat town and watch some glee whilst enjoying orange cupcakes! thanks for all the fun chattanooga!!
