Last weekend, we decided to get away for a little rest and relaxation, so we drove up to Chattanooga, Tennessee for the weekend. Saturday was pretty hot and maybe just a touch miserable, but we had a lot of fun. If anyone is considering going, here is our breakdown:
Chattanooga Aquarium- Definitely go. It may be a touch smaller than the Atlanta Aquarium, but we find it to be much more enjoyable, even when crowded.
Bluff View Art District- Lovely place to hang out. Be sure to check out River Gallery.
Rembrandt's Coffee House- Awesome place for coffee, desert, and atmosphere, but we'd avoid the sandwiches.
Hunter Museum of American Art- We loved the Hunter Museum, partly for the exhibit that happened to be there, but mainly for the little drawing stations they provide for visitors. There is even a magnetic poetry board in one area where you can compose your own poem and leave it for others to read.
Big River Brewery and Restaurant- Decent food. Decent Prices. Nothing fabulous, but service was very good.
Acropolis- Fantastic Greek Food. The owner is a wonderful gentleman who sits in his reserved booth and regularly makes his rounds to check on his guests and make sure they love their meal, and it would be impossible not to. We love this place so much, we've been known to drive all the way to Chattanooga JUST to eat here.
Courtyard Marriott Hotel- It's a room. Honestly, for the money I would have expected a lot more, but it was downtown, clean, and quiet. Parking is in the neighboring parking deck, so be prepared to carry luggage.
So overall I'd say it was a really nice trip. We need more of these. :) Don't forget that you only have a few more days (through Sept 1st) to mail in your caps for the Bottle Cap Challenge! Find out more here.

Hi there,
Sorry to post a comment, this is not really a comment, more a request but I couldn't find your email.
I think your blog is very interesting. Maybe you guys would be interested in posting your blogs on my website, http://www.altglobe.com which is talking about what's in the World in terms of green, sustainabillity, spirituality that all go together
The idea is to help you spreading your word by extending your community.
We feel there are lots of individuals interested in these big challenges for the year to come -both individual and community challenges - and our goal is to help everyone reaching information of how they can achieve those changes. I think your posts would be a tremendous contribution to that.
All you need to do is creating a profile and let me know you want to post, and then you can actually just *email* your blog whenever you have a new post. It's that easy! The website will take care about linking it to your profile and respect most of your editing (website links, images, fonts…) - yes it will crop out some things like weird smileys or what not -
Please check out my website and our current bloggers! They are all on the home page!
