Half Birthdays …

Birthday-Cake-Pictures-with-Candles

Some of you might be thinking that I am a little crazy to even be thinking about a half birthday but I have come to find out that life is short and you should celebrate all of the little sometimes crazy moments. One can only hope that you make it to a high number like in the photo above.

I’m not suggesting that I should throw a party or even ask people to give me presents but today I am exactly a year and a half from turning 30. That to me is a little scary. I guess I thought I would have a different life but I can’t say that I would change anything … well one thing … to yell at that 18 year old and tell her credit cards are bad!

I have visited and lived in some pretty amazing places. I just wish everyone lived their life that way.

So go out a little more, take more time with your friends and family and just simply enjoy life.

The Chattanoogan Hotel

After driving all day from Fort Lauderdale I was tired and just wanted a place to put my head. After looking at the reviews online I knew where I wanted to stay … The Chattanooga Hotel in downtown Chattanooga, TN. Now I know Chattanooga is not a huge destination for people to visit but if you are looking for a delightful hotel to check into after being on the road all day this is the one. I pulled up and knew I made the right choice. After checking in with Brandon who was delightful he told me that the bar was open till 12. He also said that he upgraded me to a deluxe room. Now I know this won’t happen to everyone but I thought it was a nice gesture.

I wasn’t planning on having a drink but I knew it would be relaxing and I could catch the end of Monday Night Football. After a couple of beers, I came back up to my room to snuggle into my robe and get a little work done.

I was looking to my left and see a canvas photo that says Point Park. I decided to Google what that was and I think I might have found a fun day trip before I continue heading north.

The beds were comfortable, there are outlets under the nightstand, and the bathroom had plenty of counter space, good water pressure, and nice amenities provided. My room also had a small refrigerator, single cup Keurig, and a closet with a safe, iron and ironing board. My favorite part was the robe. I feel like I am in a nice hotel when they provide a robe for you to lounge in. I will absolutely be back and can’t wait to see what else I can experience while in Chattanooga.
