Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day meant Karen got to pick the day's activities. That meant a one day break from Civil War Battles!!
We went to the Chattanooga Sunday Market. It is a weekly event with local arts and crafts vendors, local produce and entertainment. We found all kinds of arts and crafts--jewelry,painting, photos among other things. We always enjoy looking at local art even if we don't buy it. Although it is still late spring, the local farmers brought fresh produce. There was a nice selection of greens but the thing we were most excited about was finding strawberries.
The strawberries were beautiful and according to the vendors they were picked just hours earlier. What a perfect Mother's Day gift. Yummy!

On the way back through downtown Chattanooga we stopped off at the old train depot. It is the home of the Chattanooga Choo-Choo made famous by the Glenn Miller song of the same name. We walked around the grounds looking at the gardens and the old depot. The Holiday Inn has opened on the site and the grand entrance of the depot is actually the hotel lobby.
It was fun to see how elegant train depots and train travel used to be.

We stopped off on the way home for a quick dinner 'cause Mom shouldn't have to cook on Mother's Day. What a nice day.
