Traveling Together - Chattanooga

Last night we watched an old movie from 1984 called The Chattanooga Choo Choo, and today we drove to the city in Tennessee called Chattanooga. Our first stop was the Tennessee Valley Railroad. We just had to ride on a train!

We arrived a bit early, so we wandered through the gift shop.

Then the Dog Walker read us a story.

Finally it was time to board the train.

We didn’t have time for an all day trip, and this was only 45 minutes.

 

  

My sweetie loved the roundhouse demo and the tunnel.

After we left the train station, we stopped at Waffle House for lunch.

It was relatively cheap, diner-type food, but with tip it still cost us well over $100 for the 8 of us. So my sweetie devised a plan. Each kid would plan and cook a meal. So we drove a couple of blocks to Food City. Girls went one way. Boys the other; and the planning began. Surprisingly, there was no overlap.

A couple of hours later and we were back in the condo. Crafty made eggs and fruit for dinner and the kids played Skull Kings.

Love the family time.
