We visited Noccalula Falls Saturday. We decided late in the day to go. Jason loves the falls - it's his old stomping grounds. So, we get all excited about going - get everyone ready and start our journey. We are having a great time singing to our favorite songs and when we finally reach Gadsden we find out that the Noccalula Falls exit is closed and the next exit is 17 miles up the road!! So our short little trip is getting LONG! So we finally take an emergency exit and get back on track. We get to the falls, get everyone out, cross the bridge, and the time is 3:20. Then over the loud speaker they say "Attention guests, the park will be closing at 4" - FOUR!!! WHAT?!? And then I look at Mary who is admiring the Falls which are "not so much" because it hasn't rained in a MONTH...and Mary is creating her own falls! She is peeing EVERYWHERE and standing in a puddle. At this point I just want to leave b/c it's becoming all to complicated. But Jason loves this place. I take Mary back to the car and get her changed - BUT we have no change of clothes! I know most of you are not surprised by that fact and I don't think I'll ever learn to pack an extra pair. So we plan to just play at the little park right next to the Falls which ended up being a lot of fun! We stayed about 2 hours and made it home in time to watch the games! (AL/TN & Giants/Phillies) These are the days!

fun... sorry but i laughed at your expense about missing the exit, then getting there right before it closed, then mary making her own falls and you not having a change of clothes. sounds EXACTLY like something that would have happened to us. ha! love the pics, esp the last one!
