Doin' the 'Nooga: Days One & Two

Day 1: Tennessee Aquarium, Sticky Fingers, Lookouts Baseball
The cousins are also early risers so we had plenty of time for play before heading to see the sites. We touched sharks and stingrays
and marveled at the beautiful butterflies at the aquarium, then stuffed our empty bellies at Sticky Fingers before heading back to the fresh water building. After an afternoon nap and dinner, we headed to the ballpark in quest of free t-shirts. It turns out the t's weren't to be given away until the next night, but we had a good time watching the Famous Chicken. Kali and Jackson were even spotted by the local paper.

Day 2: Chattanooga Ducks and the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum
The Duck tour was so much fun. It's an old WWII amphibious vehicle that rolls along the streets downtown and then splashes into the Tennessee River for a short trip up the shoreline. William, Evan and Kali even got to drive.
Another nap was needed before going to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum for a 3-mile ride. Unfortunately, we missed the final ride of the day and the boys had to settle for looking at the parked engines (and in the process disturbed a poor wasp - ouch!).

I think the heat fried our brains and we decided to go back to the ballpark. We snagged the free t's and made it the middle of the 8th inning before calling it a night.
