Destination #1: Chattanooga, Tennessee

On Saturday afternoon Kathryn and I arrived in the great city of Chattanooga, TN. If you have never been to Chattanooga there's a lot to do there including visiting the Tennessee Aquarium, taking a stroll across the pedestrian bridge, hearing some music from locals on the street, or eating at one of many amazing restaurants in the city. What I find most appealing about the city is its walkability. I don't know if that is a real word, but I love a city that's easy to navigate on foot. Usually cities like these have an assortment of family-friendly parks to hang out in and Chattanooga has no shortage--in fact, the main downtown area is a park. 

This trip to Chattanooga, we really only stayed for one night and didn't do a whole lot in the city. Saturday night we ate at The Blue Plate, which rocks face, and then went hand-in-hand to the art district. After a short walk we headed back to our B & B for a night of Harry Potter watching. Sunday morning, we ate breakfast and went to Brainerd Baptist Church. I was quite encouraged to find Brainerd Baptist a place of friendly people and Christ-centered worship. Well, that pretty much sums up our time in Tennessee.... off to North Carolina we go.
