Trip to Chattanooga, TN

 Cravens House- Battle above the Clouds
This house was destroyed by Union troops.  The owner returned after the war and rebuilt as before!  I can understand why; the view is gorgeous!  On the drive up the mountain there were markers showing the progression of the battle.  It was so sad; the soldiers fought for hours, gaining only a few feet!

 We were so fortunate to visit at the perfect time to see the leaves changing- gorgeous!  We took several leisurely walks in the woods.  I love vacations with my hubby!

 Isn't he a cutie?

We went on a dinner cruise on a riverboat.  The food was delicious, and we enjoyed watching the riverbank drift by.  I wish I could say that the music was romantic, but...the cover band was lousy!  I kept getting cracked up when they went flat...over and over and over!  Then when they started singing a song that they didn't know the lyrics to (Sweet Home, Alabama & RockyTop!)...  Daniel thought I shouldn't go help them out; can't imagine why!

I think you should have gone up to help the poor guys sing apparently they needed help and you were there at the right time:). I can assure you they would not have wanted me there to help them, they would have been hunting soldiers to shoot me:). I love Chattanooga,TN, but then I love any place with a history, one of my very favorites is Savannah,GA. Hugs to you sweet lady and I am so glad you were able to enjoy some special time with you handsome hubby.
