After several weeks of cough, cough, sneeze, sneeze (thanks to the cold I picked up in San Francisco), I seem to be on the mend and was thrilled to take off to Chattanooga with John for the weekend. We drove down after work on Friday and returned home late this afternoon. We had a great time! Among the many activities that filled our time…a ride down the Tennessee River on the Chattanooga Duck Tour, strolling downtown, rummaging through our favorite shops on Fraizer Avenue, an incredible ride “down and up” the Incline Railroad (fulling a longtime goal of mine), walking around the battlefield on Lookout Mountain and of course, eating lots of yummy food. Restaurants included Broad Street Grille, Big River Grille, Taco Mac and Northshore Grill. We also had late evening decaf and dessert at Rembrandt Cafe on Art Bluff.
We stayed at the Chattanoogan Hotel. It was brand new on our first trip to Chattanooga several years ago but is now showing signs of wear. From a tear in the blanket, to soap scum on the bath tub wall to a very noisey group of Church of God of Prophecy convention kids running up and down the hallway, I was a little disappointed. Next time we will probably look at one of the central downtown hotels.
I would post a few snaps (I took a lot) but I seem to be having some problems with “Hello” the software used to transmit photos. Could it be from lack of use? 🙂 I will write a page and post photos on the website in the next few weeks. Chattanooga is definitely worth a weekend visit!
