Chattanooga Tennessee

~
When we stayed at Cloudland Canyon State Park we took a day trip to Chattanooga Tennessee. I thought I would show you a bit of what we saw there.

They have a great aquarium in Chattanooga. Many people there just ran through like they did at Rock City... but Frank and I savor each moment, well Frank would say "get our money's worth" :-) We really savor the moments when we enjoy ourselves and we did enjoy ourselves in Chattanooga. Now these aren't the greatest pictures... bear in mind it was my first experience with a digital camera.


The Aquarium is in two buildings.
I was on The Southern Belle when I took this shot.

Green Sea Turtle
It is in motion and I know nothing about how my camera works... so everything is on auto :-)

You can touch the sharks.

If you are lucky a turtle will smile for you :-)

After lunch at a great restaurant... which I can't remember the name of... we went for a boat ride on The Southern Belle.

One day I'll go back and take better pictures.

Georgia now has an aquarium that we haven't had the honor to visit yet. Maybe when we go see our daughter we can make a day of it.
