I {heart} Chattanooga

Some people {heart} New York; I {heart} Chattanooga.

We first experienced Chattanooga when we took our Griswold Vacation to Lookout Mountain with Mom and Evan a couple of years ago. We loved it so much that it has become a frequent stop for us when we are south-bound or home-bound with long distance travel.  Their downtown is absolutely spectacular for families – especially families with small children. While there are several great paid attractions (awesome aquarium, excellent children's museum), we have come to appreciate their free activities as well. We usually allow for a couple of hours and stop for a meal and some play time, which, in the summer, typically involves water of some sort. We've learned to pack an easily-accessible change of clothes. =)

On our way to/from Destin, we let the boys have some play time in the "river" and at the splash pad. Our town doesn't have a splash pad, so these boys were in heaven getting to run around soaking wet – especially after being cooped up in the car most of the day! If you ever pass through, it is worth the stop. Just ask them...

So fun! What kid wouldn't LOVE all that splashing around?! Such a perfect way to get the sillies out during a long trip home.

Aren't they wonderful. Carrie took me to one in Dallas and it was so much fun.

They have a smaller version in Bentonville but still fun!
