Chattanooga, TN

16 years ago

I want to spend the weekend in Chattanooga. It will be my husband and I and 5 kids, 12, 8, 6, 4, 3. I know I would like to do Ruby falls, The Zoo, and Rock City. I will get there around lunch on Friday and plan to leave no later than 7:00 Sunday Night. Do you think I could do anything else in that time frame? I know I want to go to a few souvenir and candy shops. Maybe a really nice park that is local. Is there any kind of botanical garden that has water lilies and koi? Also if you are familiar with the area what would the best order to visit these places? Thanks for any advice you can help with. Misty

Misty,
No one answered I see. Guess Chattanooga isn't a prime vacation spot, but I think there are a lot of things to do. I don't live in Tennessee anymore, but was born there and think it is one of the most beautiful places in this country.
Your vacation has no doubt come and gone; hope you guys had a good time. I don't think you can get much done in a weekend especially with wrestling five kids around, but the places you mentioned were feasible and hope they were fun. I personally like to visit Civil War sites, but probably not that interesting to young children.
Hope you guys enjoyed your trip.
Mary

ditto... while there's no way I can make it/do it this June ... things might be more feasible for next Spring/'08 or perhaps even this Fall - I won't know until closer to those times. Just make sure you don't set them up where they conflict with the other "major" swaps in TN and you stand a much better chance at GW folks who "do" the TN swaps to be able to go to yours as well. I know that used to be "the gig" with horse shows I attended and/or judged at. As long as dates didn't conflict, we'd be on the road virtually every weekend with a "string" of shows. It was nice. :) And then the "season" would wrap up and we'd all recuperate hehe...
