Tennessee aquarium and other stuff

Today was AWESOME. It was our full day in Chattanooga and we made the most of it. We started by sleeping in. Waaaay in for us. I think we got up at 8:30 or 9. Then we enjoyed a nice leisurely morning getting ready for the day. When we were ready to leave we decided to go out to waffle house for breakfast. It was only 1.5 miles away but when we got there their credit card machine was down and we didnt have enough cash for breakfast so we drove 3 more miles to the next closest waffle house and ate there. After breakfast we headed back to the waterfront to the aquarium. It was awesome. We started in the fresh water side. My favorite thing in there was the otter exhibit. We stayed there a long time watching the 2 little otters play tag. It was so cute. I also really liked the turtle and alligator tank. I skyped mom so that james could see all the turtles. After petting the freah water sting rays and seeing the butterfly house we finished the fresh water side and went to the salt water side. I think over there the jelly fish were my favorite. Like watching a very calming screen saver. All of their exhibits were so nicely done. We finished in the late afternoon. Since breakfast was so late we didnt really feel like lunch but we wanted a snack so we decided to find an ice cream place. I was pretty tired by that point. Walking around for hours 19 weeks pregnant ia harder than i remember! The ice cream shop was right next to the movie theater so we decided to catch a matinee so i could rest. We watched the new pirate s of the Caribbean movie. It was ok, and since the theater validated our parking saving us $8 on parking the movie really only cost us $5 and it was worth that. After the movie we weren't ready to go back ro the hotel so we walked allllll the way back up the hill to the pedestrian bridge and then walked allll the way accross the river.  We stopped for a while to watch a nice little band play and again to sit and watch the river and people go by. By they time we finished getting back to our side of the river it was dinner time. We grabbed some pizza and then went back to the hotel. We are in bed by 10 tonight. It was a long day! Tomorrow we spend the morning here then we have to head home back to real life.
