Chattanooga is a really nice place to visit. We spent a weekend there; but it was 4 years ago and GS8 doesn't remember a lot about it. We went to Ruby Falls and the place on top of the mountain where you can see 7(?) surrounding states.
When my kids were 12-14 I took them to Florida, we had a day to kill so we drove to New Orleans just to say we went there. I was not adventuresome enough to find a place to park and walk around. We also toured a battleship and a submarine retired from WWII in Mobile Alabama. My fil had served on a sub just like it, it helps to make history more interesting when the kids can see and touch things they are learning about. We'll have to take GS8 to that.
