Chattanooga, part 4

After our visit to The Tennessee Aquarium we were ready for lunch so we set out on foot in search of food. We found some interesting art on the street along the way:

We ended up at the Blue Plate:

which is right on the Tennessee riverfront. The menu was tempting, but I finally decided on a turkey club sandwich (you'll notice I forgot to take a picture until it was almost half gone). It was delicious:

and strawberry lemonade:

Doesn't that look delicious? It was! I offer it as my link to the weekly T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering. Join us by sharing a post with a drink reference and linking up here.

This was the view from our booth:

We were exhausted after our morning so returned to our hotel room for a bit of a foot prop. It wasn't long until we decided we wanted dessert and coffee, though, and the cookies in our supply bag just didn't have much appeal. We decided to take the free shuttle (the north end was next door in the garage where our car was parked) to the south end of the line and walk back towards the hotel until we found pie. We went in a book shop:

saw art on buildings:

and by the roadside:

We passed Warehouse Row:

and decided to stop in the Tupelo Honey Cafe:

The interior is comfortable:

Their menu looks like they have many delicious items, but we were just interested in dessert. And coffee, of course:

I had the Brown Butter Pecan Pie with chocolate ganache, and The Husband had banana pudding:

We headed back to the hotel on foot, figuring we'd stop and catch the shuttle when we saw it. That didn't take long, and before we knew it we were back in the hotel room. We found out there was a Democratic debate on that night, which provided interesting entertainment. I am on the far left-wing fringe, at least as U.S. politicians go, and I find politics fascinating.

We had a train ride planned for the next day, and I had never ridden on a train before!

ATCs:

I got my envelope mailed before we left on vacation, and these were waiting in the mail fr me when we had delivery re-started once we got back home. I was excited by the PIF treasures I received from Mia:

and by the happy package that Chris, the person I sent to, sent to me:

Wow! Y'all are a generous and creative bunch! I admit my stash consists of old catalogs, magazines, cards, and newspapers and whatever ribbon I've found at the Dollar Tree. These treasures took my breath away! I hope to improve my skills in creating more interesting, better constructed pieces with more texture and depth in the coming year, and these delights inspire me to that end. Thank you!
