... in the Tennessee Aquarium right down by the river in Chattanooga. We spent the morning, walking and looking. Including seeing some scuba divers in a huge tank with lots of sharks, manta rays, schools of smaller finned things. Looking forward to this venture since early December, when she'd asked for a membership as a Christmas gift.
With a one year membership, you get free pass to take a friend (me!) to look at all the interesting fish, turtles, jellyfish, eels (constantly making electricity), crabs, manta rays (you can touch em'!) and penguins. Pretty interesting. Lots of info. about how ecosystem damage and habitat change like construction of homes near beaches, dams on rivers and pollution is diminishing the range, health and populations of creatures that depend on marshland, openwater and ecosystems of the connected waters all around the globe to survive.
Lunch at Panera, good onion soup. But don't order the seasonal turkey/cranberry flatbread sandwich unless you are looking for 'meaty'. I dont' much eat that sort of thing, but ordered it upon remembering someone recommending. So I have no one but myself to blame for the fact that it was loaded with turkey. After a couple of bites, of very dry flatbread, I realized I should have asked for nice warm soft squishy tomato/mozzarella cheese instead. Oh, well...
