Kickin' it at the 'Noog

Julie and I went to Chattanooga over Memorial Day weekend. (Prior to the trip I learned from Jim that Chattanooga can be called "the Noog") It was the first time either of us visited the downtown area. We were happy to find it wasn't too rednecky, it had a hippy, pot smoking type of vibe. The downtown area is not too big that you can't walk all the way around it.

Here we stopped at Qdoba for lunch. Julie enjoyed two servings of chicken nachos. Hardy har har.




The Tennessee river runs right thru downtown, we walked the pedestrian bridge.













Here is the bridge for cars, the aquarium is the pointy building in the background.




























We visited the aquarium, it was ok, not great. Its more geared for kids.




















One of the reasons the downtown area had a cool vibe was the sidewalk seating for bars/restaurants. For dinner we ate at the Big River Grille. Great food and a microbrew.
