Day Two: Creative Discovery Museum Broxton loves Bob the Builder. I love how they all work together to get the job done and at times, the machinery reminds me of little kids how they let their minds wander... I was so excited to hear that the Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga had a Bob the Builder Exhibit going on while we were there. Of course, I contacted them to see if I could come check it out and in turn, share it with you... Luckily for all of us, they said YES!!!! As if the playground looking atmosphere up on the roof doesn't call you to come check it out... I know that the different sculptures out front will! Just look at Broxton's excitement! I had a huge grin on my face when I walked in to see a Big Belly Bank ! (You know we love them, remember my review on Buddy ?!) When you first enter, there is just so much in every direction! We let Broxton choose where to start. We first started with the water. They had boats and ducks. You could pour the water or...

Continuing on with my post of Chattanooga, it's time to tell you about Day Two! Ruby Falls . Now, my mom can not remember if we went there before... I could have sworn that we had, but now... I am not so sure... Either way, we went and it was pretty awesome! Once again, if you want to read all about it (and you know you do) head on over to visit their website after you read about our adventure. I will just tell you, Ruby Falls is an UNDERGROUND waterfall! How cool is that?! We got there and immediately got in line to go down. You take an elevator all the way down and then work your way around the cavern! Oh and get this... It is always 60 degrees down there!!! ( I did read on their site that although it is always 60 degrees, the humidity can make it feel like it is 70 degrees, either way, pretty cool versus the 100 degrees outside!) So,on to our adventure: You take an elevator down... Oh, let me tell you something you might just want to know... This tour is not for th...

Day One Part Two: Tennessee Aquarium While we were in Chattanooga, we were thrilled for the chance to go and check out the Tennessee Aquarium ! They are always advertising it on the Atlanta channels, so to have the chance to go and check it out was something we were really hoping we had the chance to do! The great thing about Chattanooga is that they have free shuttles! We just parked our car at the hotel (more on that tomorrow) and then we took the shuttle to the Aquarium! Once we were dropped off (the shuttle station is like half a block from the Aquarium) we were first greeted with a "Southern Belle" welcoming us to Chattanooga! I totally wish I would have taken a picture of her, but we were so excited to get to the Aquarium, we didn't get one! We went to the ticket building and were told to start our journey!!!! The Tennessee Aquarium is actually in two buildings! We started out by going to the River Journey. Oh, let me tell you... The Aquarium is a mult...

(With all pictures, you can click on them to enlarge) With Marc's job, he goes to Chattanooga and he always talks about how beautiful it is there. So, when the boys were here, we drove up for the day to look around. Of course, I had to Google to see what was there and I was surprised to see so many great attractions so close to home! I was happy to see that Rock City was there, as I remembered going as a child. We rode around and looked at everything in the area with all intentions of coming back one day and actually exploring the attractions that looked so fun. With 4 kids and 2 adults, you can imagine that nothing ends up being super cheap. Luckily for Marc and I, we were later offered the chance to come back up and check things out. No... The boys didn't go, as school has started, but at least we know what to check out next time they are here!!!! So, for the next couple of days, I am going to highlight on different attractions that we had the chance to explore!!!...
