Today was a lovely day (for me that is), about 71 degrees, overcast.  So we decided to check a few things off our “things to do” list.  We started out by going to the Bluff View Art District.  We drove by this section when we took the Double Decker Bus Ride.  Good thing we took that ride, cause this place wasn’t on our original list.  The place has a bunch of small restaurants and a few old hotels there.  

They even had a sculpture garden you could walk thru

Back of the stones

Front of the stones

Looks like a giant Jacks for those of you old enough to know what that is

The Borg!

Nice Wind Chime

Who’s that guy? Almost like finding Waldo 🙂

That sculpture is supposed to represent the Tennessee River.

Then there was this big honkin Holly bush

At least I think it is Holly

Does that look like Holly to you?

Then we checked out the Hunter Museum, just the outside, we’ll check out the inside some other day

This mansion, part of the museum, was donated to the city of Chattanooga, they later added two side additions

They had some sculptures outside too

Same thing, just up close, see the little chair in the network of wires?

Remember the bicycle built for two with the number 2 on it?  This one has a 7 on it.  We figure they are mile markers for the River Walk, cause it comes all the way downtown

Then we went across a 

See you can see down below

We crossed over it, but I can tell you, neither of us cared for it at all.  It doesn’t instill much confidence in the bridge when half way across they have a board down to replace one of the glass panes that apparently broke.  Jeez!

Then we saw this little guy

He even had pink nail polish on his toe nails, aaaaah!

We next went over this bridge

It is a pedestrian only bridge

We figure this is probably what the Stillwater lift bridge will look like after they covert it to a pedestrian bridge.  The bridge was fun to walk over and had very good views

Water fountain

Crazy Duck Boats

We decided if we were going to live in a downtown area, this would be our top choice, so far that is 😉
