More Tennesee and Trains



Track 29--that's the track the Chattanooga Choo Choo ran on. And if you're wondering why it's so famous/important (I thought it was because of the bright colors...but that's not quite it)....
I think "pappy" is such an endearing term for father. It's so southern, though, that I can't say it without feeling dumb--but I had to capture this sign while we were driving through a small town. Wish we'd had time to go in the store.

Instead of going back to the hotel yesterday night, we decided to go to the Chattanooga Aquarium. Some pretty cool animals...and pretty scary, too. My favorite is the polka dot ray. And that green leafy thing isn't a plant--it's a type of seahorse. Told you it was cool.

  4. Pappy's Quilts? Come on, no time for such an important stop? That would have been one interesting store. Loved the creatures.
