Here’s another scrapbook page from our trip to Tennessee.  This one’s from Chattanooga.  As it turns out, there’s not a whole lot to do in Chattanooga if you aren’t already on Lookout Mountain.  We knew that one first Coca-Cola bottling plant was there, as well as the Moon Pie Factory, but neither of those things are open to the public.  The clerk at the hotel found out that the Coca-Cola bottler was sponsoring a pre-football game event at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga that morning.  We didn’t have anything else to do that morning, so we went to check it out.  The company was rolling out a whole fleet of new trucks and was promising to give out free stuffed polar bears to the first 500 kids who attended the parade.  We got there an hour early, and got in line to wait for the stuffed bears.  The “line”, as it turned out, consisted of a Grandmother who works for Coca-Cola and her two granddaughters.  It wasn’t bad, though — they handed out plenty of free drinks, and I scored a free “World Hamburger Eating Championship” T-shirt (only available in XXL –  go figure) from Krystal burger.  The stuffed bears turned out to be pretty cool as well and probably were worth the wait and the $5 for parking.

Sandi took this picture of Sadie while we were waiting in line while the kids entertained themselves with whatever was at hand.
