Saturday afternoon we split up - I took myself off to the Tennessee Aquarium, the others went to Ruby Falls.
The Tennessee Aquarium is the world's largest freshwater aquarium and home to the largest blue catfish on exhibit in the world, weighing in at 90 lbs.
Here are a couple of 'snaps' that I took before my camera died..... typical...... couldn't get the catfish... but I was more impressed with these little beauties - (clockwise) Baby alligators, otter, royal penguin and pig nosed tortoise. I also saw macaws, sharks, tropical stingrays and went into the Butterfly House.
The others went to Ruby Falls:
The deepest commercial caverns in in the United States are located deep inside Lookout Mountain and are more than 1000 ft underground.
More on that one, later....... will have to get some from Lesley's camera. From all accounts it was a very memorable experience!
Moon Pies - pretty cool! - best described as a 'skinny' wagon wheel - two biscuits joined together with marshmallow and dipped in chocolate. Different flavours include strawberry, vanilla and banana.
Sounds like Scarlet enjoyed her solo time at the Aquarium.
