How Many Fun Places Can You Visit in a Day?

Vicki had not been to Chattanooga for 45 years (or so) but she remembered places she had visited way back then and had often talked about returning. Today was the day.

We drove in from Nahshville and immediately took the steepest railway in the world up Lookout Mountain. She had to close her eyes on the steep part but that was much better than the past when the "women didn't ride the train".

After that we went to Rock City, home of the swinging suspension bridge that was so frightening to her as a child. This time she crossed it twice and even made it bounce and swing. So there! The whole park was majestic except for the "Fairyland Caverns". That part was kind of frightening to me.

We grabbed some lunch at Rock City and then made a beeline to Tennessee Aquarium. We went to both parts the river and ocean. There was a sea horse exibit and way too many other creatures to even mention from butterflies to alligators.

The next stop was Ruby Falls. The falls is located in a cavern entered after a 260 feet elevator ride down through solid limestone. The falls is about 1/2 mile farther into the the cave 1100 feet below the surface. No sweat, really. It was fairly cool down there.

By the time we got out of there it was 5:30 in the afternoon and time for dinner. Cracker Barrel is always fine with me so catfish, chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, gravy and all the other good stuff that goes with it made the ride home very relaxing. Here I sit, after a shower sipping a Margarita and typing. A very full day!
