Howard Johnson Plaza Chattanooga

... You can eat and sleep on board. Whilst heading to the Choo Choo we saw a local brew pub so we stopped by and had a local brew and pizza for lunch. It had great atmosphere and was orginally an old warehouse that had been redesigned. It made us a little homesick but last night we stopped by a World Foods Maket that we happened to see as we drove by and they had Mint Slice biscuits, Tim Tams, Crunchies and Turkish Delight. All of which we now ...

We have arrived in Chattanooga and found ourselves a bargain basement priced little wooden cabin to keep us out of the rain and in the warmth, yay! This is just a short entry. This week we will be staying here in Chattanooga checking out the surrounds and making a few day trips to neighbouring states. <br><br>We will keep you updated. Lots of Love, the warm, Bek and Jesse Train<br>

... I did see that they had a 1903 Springfield. I&#8217;ll have to remember to tell Shaun.<br><br>We decide it is a good time to hit the auto tour before the bus load of children head there. We head out and follow the battle. I like trying to guess which monuments are for which state. Each state provided the monuments for their units. Most of the really big ones are for confederate states. There is a HUGE Georgia spiral we see ...

Easy coming out. <br><br>The hike took some time so when we got back on 136 North and headed on to Chickamauga we didn't stay too long. We will definitely will go back.

Jamie, Zach, and I can now say that we have done what all the barns and bird houses across the southeast has been requesting people to do: See Rock City. Rock City is a Labrinth of rock formations on the highest peak in Tennessee. From one spot we could Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee. Zach enjoyed looking at the rocks that loomed overhead and the massive waterfall.

... to local businesses asking if they could help with a replacement battery pack as well as helping with some local attraction tickets, thank you Cameille we had a really great day. After getting some exercise along the water front we returned to look around the original station famous for the Chattanooga Choo Choo. This has been very well preserved and turned into a hotel, where you can choose to stay in the station ...

... samples at the distillery - but Moore County is a dry county - you can't buy alcohol for a couple of hundred miles!!! The only bottles for sale are special (and expensive) commemorative bottles that are out of production and can not be drunk on site. We learned some pretty cool things about the production process and how you can buy a barrel of Jacks for about A$18000!!! - Visited Rock City and Ruby Falls near Lookout Mountain ...

... our eye - in that booth handcrafted items from Russia and Eastern Europe; in that one African tribal art and collectibles; another has Mexican pewter. And some local galleries are here with framed originals or prints. There are 79 booths in all and 34 vendors are brand-new to the Market this year.

... Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention, every year. And, at Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge in Decatur, you can be proud of the fine area that has been set aside for wintering migratory birds. "Wintering" means, of course, that you need to visit in the wintertime to see the great variety of birds. Toss a warm jacket in the car along with the binoculars, for some of the finest Wildlife Viewing you'll ever experience.
