Chatanooga? Isn't that close to Cleveland, TN? headquarters for the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) and for Perry Stone Ministries, and for the Headquarters Church of an organization I'm ordained with --The Churches of Jesus Christ International. I've never been there but hope to drive down for a weekend some time at the HQ church.

We went to Chattanooga, a few years ago and really enjoyed Lookout Mountain and Ruby Falls!

They wanted to ride The Incline Railway, but I was too chicken at the time. I've read more about it and I think I would ride it now.

I love it. In fact we thought about living there. I am an outdoor kind of girl.
You can go kayaking down the rivers. There is an amusement park that we liked. Chattanooga has a lot of great suburbs that have nice things to do. College Town is right on its border and has a Little Debbie Cake factory.lol......There is a book store known as McKays that my husband breathes hard about. They have huge bins outside where they give free books to any one who wants them and since they have more than one Seminary in the area many are theology books. Look Out Mountain is great and I loved the Incline and Ruby Falls but not as much as I liked the Museum there up on the Mountain. There is a really cool museum that has historic stuff. If you want to just go up there and to the Museum and the park and go walking its really nice. We are in the same age range. I am 49 and my husband is 55. There are also nice little places within driving distance that are worth the trip. I love going over to Athens and touring The Mayfield Dairy which has a great ice cream parlor and is inexpensive.The tour is free. Its not just looking over cows either. Its production and packing etc. Pretty nice. There is a Russell Stover Candy store there also which has some great candy apples. If you like hiking then that area is great.

I live about 30 miles from Chattanooga. Downtown Chattanooga is really fun. LA Dodgers has a minor league team that plays there and the games are always fun-not sure if they will be in town if you are here or not. We enjoy just walking around downtown at all the shops and especially the shops behind Coolidge Park. Of course like others have said - Ruby Falls, Incline Railway and Rock City - all are really neat places. Hope you enjoy your trip. I LOVE living in this part of the country.

Would you know anything about motels on the west side of Chattanooga? I want something inexpensive but decent. I found the name of one near I-24; Budge Motel, and another one west of I-24; Crystal Air Sport Motel.

We always get those travel coupons and even check out the rooms before we book. Its worth it. You can also go on travelocity and get it for less.
