adventures in tennessee // chattanooga days

i'm a firm believer in the idea that you can always create adventures for yourself. i was born and raised in chattanooga and this city still never gets old to me. i love to explore downtown chattanooga starting on the north shore, stroll around coolidge park, skip across the walnut street bridge, and head up to the art district for a caramel latte at rembrandt's coffee house.

autumn in chattanooga takes a few weeks to show up and the leaves tend to change during the last week of october or first of november. when they change, they change all at once...almost overnight it seems. on saturday, the bestie and i decided to head downtown to take in the sights and watch the rowing regatta that takes place in chattanooga every year. the. leaves. were. brilliant. glorious yellows, oranges, and reds. i can honestly say that i would be totally fine if we lived in this season year round. although the weather outside is getting a bit chilly, there is a certain warmness that autumn exudes as the sun bounces off the colorful leaves. it's the best. enjoy this little tour of my city!
