Chattanooga TN



I just got back from Chattanooga Tn, it was great.


There was a very long drive there and there were a lot of pretty hills. The drive did get tedious.


When we got there, we mostly laid around all day and watched T.V. We swam at the hotel a little, And went to bed.


The next day, we got up and went to an attraction called "Rock City". It is a very beautiful park with caves and cliffs. The sites were wonderful. And what really made my day was a raptor show going on. They first pulled out two eastern screech owls. those were cute. Then they took out my second favourite bird; the barred owl. It kept trying to fly off the arm. Then there was a broad winged hawk, a red tailed hawk, and then a kestrel. After that, they took out a vulture that thought it was a dog.
Then i got to pet the screech owl!




The next day, we went to the aquarium. The first building was real short, but pretty.
The second building was my favourite. they had birds as well as fish. first all I saw was a rose breasted grosbeak. then in the second room; they had my favourite duck, the hooded Merganser. i got a video of that one.
it was a great weekend.
