Down by the River

The tour of Chattanooga continues today with a glimpse of the Chattanooga Riverpark.


Before I start, I just have to say that I kind of feel like these pictures speak for themselves.  I’ve mentioned Lexi before, but I have to brag on her again.  She has really captured the beauty of the Riverpark and I feel like my words aren’t even adequate.  Obviously, I'm going to try.  But, I’ll totally understand if you skip my part and focus solely on her beautiful photography.


The Riverpark stretches eight miles down the Tennessee River from the Aquarium to the TVA Dam.  It’s not only gorgeous, but it’s meticulously cared for and has been an ideal place for me to begin my running career.  There’s a killer paved running/walking/biking trail that runs mostly along the shore. With its stellar views and intermittent public sculpture it makes working out – even running – a pleasure.  But, don’t misunderstand the park isn’t ONLY about the trail.


Yesterday we shot pictures at the Boat Dock.  There are also pavilions, a playground and lots of picnic tables and benches throughout to just relax and enjoy the ambiance.


I'm telling you, this place is really breathtaking.


Now, for the clothes…
