WE had lots of fun in Chattanooga and ate lots of good food. Our favorite places to eat included Sugar's Ribs, Three Rivers (or was it called Big River?), Mellow Mushroom Pizza, Sweet Peppers, and the Ice Cream Show. The Blue Plate was really the only breakfast place we ate it...why try anything else, if it that good?! We also went to the IMAX. We watched Born Free...a documentary of elephants and orangutans. Andi wore the 3D glasses and loved it! We also toured the Hunter Museum of Art. Part of the exhibits are in an old historic mansion. The most interesting thing I learned was that Hunter bought the bottling rights to Coca-Cola for $1 because the maker knew that it would be impossible to bottle a carbonated beverage. Wow!
Andi did great on our adventures, especially considering that we did not stop. We were on the go just about all day, everyday and night. She took her naps when she got sleepy, whether that be on my shoulder, in the hotel, in the stroller, in the car, at the baseball games, etc. I am so proud of her and thankful that she is able to do that. We had some late nights, games that lasted until midnight almost. She did great. We were all tired but we got to bed and were all able to sleep in. Slept til 9 or later most days.
The car ride to Kodak, TN was 14 hours, mush of it was overnight, so Andi did a lot of sleeping. On the way home it was all day time driving so she kept entertained by reading books with Lynley or watching Elmo or Madagascar. She did take a nap in the morning. What a good girl. By the time we got home, we were all ready to get out of the car. What a FUN trip. So good to see Shawn and give him some love and support. Watching him interact with Andi was precious.
Shane and Anna Lee bought Andi a little turtle stuffed animal at the aquarium. So sweet. Andi calls it "turden."
In between the hotel and aquarium (we waled everywhere downtown), were some fountains and splash pools. We walked past them everyday. At first Andi was uncertain of the water. After a couple days she wanted to check it out. She stuck just one finger in the water. the next day she put her whole hand in the water. And the day after that, she decided she was ready to splash. Boy, did she love it! What a great way to cool off.
Winding sidewalk. I called it "Lombard sidewalk."
This turtle, along with some other concrete animals were actually water fountains, creating a splash park. They were turned off while we were there, but Andi enjoyed riding them.
One day we walked across the longest pedestrian sidewalk in the world and found a beautiful park and carousel on the other side. Of course Andi had to ride the carousel. Fun!
Nana wanted to ride too.
We discovered that this girl loves corn-on-the-cob!
Running and playing frisbee in the park.
