Thank you all for your posts and suggestions.

Im in Charlotte NC area and never been to that part of Tenn. nor ever research Chattanooga it was just random pick and I think we will have alot of fun. (rates are good for labor day weekend too sweet.)

Now I have to wait on my partner to get off work and work out the plans which I will probably due in the middle of night since I cannot sleep before I go somewhere due to excitement of anticipation.

Thank you again.

today we were invited to Coolidge Park by some new friends of ours that have a 17 month son & 4 year old daughter. Great fun picnicking in the park, splashing in the fountain, and riding the carousel. Afterwards we walked over Walnut St bridge and meandered down by the Aquarium.

Daddy here walked back to get the car, and drove around to pick everyone up All in all it was a great day spent with new friends!
