Sleep, oh how sweet! Ron and I got the much needed sleep, last night! Actually, once we got to our motel around 3:00 pm, we were so tired we laid down and slept for about two and one half hours! I guess that isn’t surprising since we’d left home at 9 pm yesterday and have been traveling since. Went shopping for food, did a few things, and then were ready for more sleep. By the time morning came around we were both ready for the day. And now for my Happy For A Reason reason’s.

Happy For A Reason reason’s:

1.    Sleep, sleep, and more sleep!

2.    A nice place to stay, at a reasonable cost, a room away from the freeway, and next to a creek with a nice walkway.

3.    Picked up lunch at Subway, then back to a park near Chattanooga State for and enjoyable lunch with our friend, Jason!

Jason, we won't tell anyone how many tries it took to get this picture, will we? ~smile

4.    A wonderful day! While walking along the river near a dam, a young lady on her bike stopped to chat. When she found out we were from the West Coast, she started sharing places we should go see in Chattanooga, rather than all the “tourist” traps. She steered us to some very nice places! Not to mention the ones we will go back and see on another trip!

5.    A walk through the Artistic section of Chattanooga, across the river on a lovely old historic bridge fixed for foot traffic, checked out a sternwheeler, and watched trains go over the river, on an old train bridge with one of the original stone built piers.
