Chattanooga Playtime with Pawpaw

Sunday was a fun day...after I got off of work...its ok, i love my job!
Anyways, we met Dad in Chattanooga and had soooo much fun! We went on the Incline Railway. Its the world's steepest passenger car that goes to the top of the mountain and back down at 72% grade! Its neat! And while at the top, we walked 3 blocks over to Pilot Park. Its were the Civil War's Battle Above the Clouds took place. LOTS of history and breathtaking views! Chattanooga also holds the record for 2 of the bloodiest battles in the Civil War, over 36,000 lives were taken in Chattanooga's Battles of the Civil War. Yeah, its really neat to walk on old battle grounds that were once soaked in blood of some of the bravest men ever! OK- enough of my weird fascination with that stuff. So after our brief history lesson, we went back down the railway and headed over to the Downtown/Riverwalk area. We ate outside at this nice little seafood bistro & bar. The weather was sooo cool! It didn't even feel like summer. And it was here that Dad ate raw oysters while Tim watched in uncertainty or maybe it was disgust...LOL! You will see the pictures! So, you think it would be the end of the day...NOPE! We went on a horse and buggy ride through the downtown area, Kainaan got to hold the reins, and then walked around the river front. Kainaan had to fall and skin his knees, and we had to detour to Ben & Jerry's to make it feel better! :-)
Wheeew! Now our day had to end. We brought Pawpaw back to his truck and we headed home.
So here are all 79 pictures!
