I love to travel with my husband, and we have a lot of fun planning trips. Last summer we did a quick "tour" of Tennessee. We stayed at a bed and breakfast on a farm as well as a couple cool hotels. A lot of fun. Here are some pictures from our first stop: Chattanooaga.
On our anniversary, we went to cool restaurant in an old warehouse. Most of the building had been converted into an antique shop. The other part was a restaurant called Foodworks.
After supper, we picked up our tickets for a play at a community theater, then grabbed some dessert at the Mudpie restaurant. I loved that place. So much character. :-) The tables were mismatched, most of them heavy wood and scratched up. It was on a strip with little shops and restaurants near the water. The sidewalks outside had shoeprints in some areas with numbers beside them to teach you the steps of a waltz and other dances. After the play we walked out on a pedestrian bridge and looked at the water while we listened to a live band playing on the porch of another restaurant on the strip. A perfect evening. My brother and his family met us for a day, and we had fun taking a tour on a riverboat as well as checking out the aquarium. Jason and I also went to an art museum, but to get there, we had to walk over this glass bridge. Did I mention Jason is afraid of heights? :-) Our hotel was under construction, so the outside was a mess, as was some of the downstairs. In fact, if you looked at the building you wouldn't think it was open for business. But the rooms were newly remodeled and really great.I absolutely loved Chattanooga. If we could have changed anything about our trip, we would have stayed there longer. The city was clean, there was a big variety of things to do, and there were tons of cute shops, coffee shops, dessert places, etc. One of these days I'll have to write a story that takes place there. I'd have to go back for research, right? :-)

Chattanooga is an amazing place. It would be fun to go visit it again. Want to plan a book signing there?
