Don't forget Rock City!

When I was a kid in the late 70s early 80s we took many trips from South GA to Chicago. For me it was always fireworks and wanting to see Ruby Falls and Rock City. Never went to either but always came home with a haul of fireworks.

Yeah, we'd beg my parents to let us stop at Chattanooga but no time. Finally, as an adult, my wife planned a trip for us to Chattanooga and I got to see Ruby Falls, Lookout Mountain, Rock City, and I finally got to Ride the Incline!

I recommend you visit them some day. Ruby Falls is a bit overdone - they have lights and all that to spice up the waterfall, but it's still one of those things that is just amazing to look at. Rock City is just a really nice garden with great views. There's also the Incline Railway, railroad museum, and a bunch of nice stuff in downtown Chattanooga. It's an old-school tourist trap, but the touristy stuff tends to be classy. We went there on vacation 45 years ago when I was a kid, and my wife and I still go there some since we're a couple of hours away (living in another tourist trap).
