Chattanooga was EVERYTHING that I needed. I haven't been to Tennessee since my childhood and the city is absolutely stunning. My mom and I arrived on Friday April 19th and the first thing we did was check in to the beautiful Edwin Hotel Autograph Collection and it's breathtaking definitely one of the BEST hotels I've been to in a while the customer service was exceptional. Listen THE most stylish hotel EVER it's filled with artwork from the local talent and its also conveniently located above the Tennessee River’s iconic Walnut Street Bridge, within walking distance from The Tennessee Aquarium and The Hunter Museum of American Art which I had the pleasure of checking out during my stay as well. The other thing I loved was the restaurant called The Whitebird located inside of the Hotel and we ate breakfast and Dinner there and it was uber delicious. My mom and I only stayed the weekend but I'm so happy to breakdown all the fun we had below.

After Ruby Falls we headed to Warehouse Row to do a little shopping and to eat. It was rainy and COLD so we had Ramen for dinner at Two Ten Jack!
After breakfast we headed to the Hunter Museum of American Art
Then we were onward to the Tennessee Aquarium and it was super amazing, my mom and I enjoyed an exclusive backstage tour where we were able to get a VIP experience we talked with the divers, an aquarist, we fed some of the fish, visited some of the penguins and was able to get up close and personal with the New Caledonian Giant Gecko.

After the aquarium we ate dinner at the Whitebird and then ventured across the street to The Ice Cream Show for some hot chocolate since it was unseasonably cold on Saturday night
