I couldn't help but rave again how awesome Chattanooga is for quick family getaway. Looking back at our pictures, it's amazing how we were able to see all these wonderful places with a 2 1/2 day visit. I think the critical factor is that everything is walkable. I think there was one day where we did 10.5 miles of walking. I guess you don't noticed that much miles when you are having fun.
The Walnut Street bridge is a must see.A pedestrian bridge and a great way to see the view of the river, the city and the mountains. Impressive. We very much enjoyed this stroll.
Near the bridge, is Coolidge Park. A great splash area for kids with spectacular lawn for running around.

Coolidge Park also had carousel ride inside the pavilion. Inexpensive and a treat for the kids.
A general store that sells moon pie? Who wouldn't love this. Let's just say we had to make a second trip, because we ate all the first one we purchased. Ooops.
Lots of dining option at Chattanooga, and they are inexpensive! We had dinner one night at this microbrewery restaurant called The Terminal. All these sample beer for $6!
Next door to the brewery is the Chattanooga Choo Choo. A historic hotel where you can stay overnight in a cable car. All aboard Track 29.
We stayed at the Historic Sheraton Reed Hotel. Although a bit tad old for my liking, and feel like it can use some updating, the location of the hotel, and proximity to all the attractions can't be beat. We also got a steal for our stay, by booking it thru priceline. The kids seemed to not mind all these minor details, and enjoyed an afternoon swim at the hotel's indoor pool.
