Chattanooga Choo Choo

While in Chattanooga, we stayed at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel. We debated on staying as it was a little expensive, but it was well worth it. Our room was an actual train car- it was decorated Victorian style. Noah ABSOLUTELY loved it!!! The very first thing he said when he woke up was, "I had fun sleeping in the train car last night"! The gardens between the trains were beautiful and the lobby was gorgeous. The hotel was converted from an actual train depot and we got to ride a trolley around the property to learn about the history. This hotel was an attraction all in itself and we did everything they had to offer, even down to eating lunch in their restaurant. Noah still talks about it and has even named a toy train that we bought him there "Mary". He takes Mary everywhere and talks to her all the time. It's pretty funny.

There was one part in the engine that was open for the kids to play in- Noah would have been content to play in there for hours.

we were in train room #743

this was as much fun for the kids as the real train

clearly Ava loves it too (maybe the best 25 cents we spent the whole vacation)

would've been a great pic if that backpack lady wouldn't have walked in

Ava loved the fish and wanted to grab them

We had a great time here and highly recommend the experience for any of you that have little ones that love trains. I think it is a memory that Noah will keep for a long time.
