THE BATTLE OF CHATTANOOGA!!!!!


Heading down the path towards a fort used
during the Cival War. It was amazing!

Picture of a lights, sound & commentary of the
Civil War on Lookout Mountain (right) and
Missionary Ridge (left). It was cheezily done, but
very interesting and educational.

View from Battlefield used in the Civil War.
That's the Tennessee River.


We went to Point Park, which costs $3 for me, kids are free. It is where part of the Battle of Chattanooga took place during the Civil War. It was amazing to see cannons right near the edge of Lookout Mountain - one inch farther and off they went. Elyse wouldn't go near them because she was afraid she would fall off. I went right to the edge and took the above picture (#3).

Then we paid for us to see the electric lights and sound of the Civil War (picture #2). It was good commentary, but the battle you looked at was rather cheesy. The lady at the counter charged me $5.95 (it was supposed to be $6.95 for me and $3.95 for each kid). I guess she thought the kids wouldn't enjoy it and she shouldn't charge them. She also gave me the AAA discount of $1.00. Zachary really liked the show and was emotionally moved. He felt so sorry for all the men that died. He is so sensitive.

So, now we are back at the motel having lunch. The kids want to go swimming and I want to take a nap. We will see who wins. We also have to pick Dad up late, so we are taking advantage of that and going to the Children's Museum again because it is free from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m.

TTFN!
