Chattanooooooooooga!!!

We may have already mentioned on facebook about our little adventure to Atlanta!  We were there last Monday when Northern Georgia was having that massive flooding.  No, we didn’t get stuck in any fast moving water, but we did have to drive through the crazy strong rain the night before.  Luckily, everywhere that we needed to go was above water.  However, our mountain biking plans in Chattanooga were ruined.  You can really tear up a trail by going when it’s wet.  So, we did the responsible thing and stuck to the streets and walk ways of Chattanooga.  What a blessing in disguise.  If not for the rain we wouldn’t have seen quite as much of the beautiful town.  Everywhere was accessible by walking or biking.  There were so many local shops and eateries.  You could tell just how much the arts meant to this town.  So instead of camping on the wet ground, we decided to stay in town at a bed and breakfast on the bluff just east of downtown.  It was our first B&B experience, and we loved it!  I believe Chattanooga was made for people like me.  So if one day I’m no where to be found, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start looking there!

This is the old railroad bridge that they turned into a walking/biking bridge.  It was the easiest and best way to get to the north shore.  That was where most of the local shops were.

Our B&B.  There were several restaurants located right around the house.  We ate at the Italian restaurant right behind, and the food/service was AMAZING!

This is the patio to the little coffee/pastries shop right next door.  Instead of us all eating together in the morning, they gave us a voucher for breakfast here… also very delicious!

One of our favorite parts of Chattanooga was how easy every thing was to access.  This was a trial that ran at least 7 miles along the South shore.

I’m really looking forward to our next visit.  Not only do we have a date with the mountain biking trails there, but we didn’t have time to visit their Aquarium (something they’re known for) either.  Looks like we already need to start planning!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
