Day 15: Chattanooga

This was probably one of the most enjoyable days of the trip so far. We've seen and done a lot of things, but until today we were always on our way somewhere or going to do something. Chattanooga gave us an opportunity to be on vacation. Mike took us out in his 54' yacht to Lake Tachamachahatciewoogle on the Tennessee River. We managed to miss the thunderstorm and we postponed the boat trouble until we were ready to return to shore. All in all, it was a very relaxing day.

Relaxation is not without education, however, and we are the ROAD SCHOLARS. While out on the lake, we made some new friends and learned some new things. One of our new friends, Christina (seen here on the far left, we couldn't get any closer because the water was too shallow) gave us her tip of the day:

How to keep your cigarettes dry when spending a day at the lake--in one easy step.
Step One, place entire cigarette package inside bikini top (right side). Very impressive (trust me).

Other bits of knowledge from the day:

  • Mondo REALLY likes my sleeping bag.
  • It is possible to get a teenager to do dishes.
  • The Fischer's have so many remote controls you could set up a cool photo-op using a digital camera
  • We're really from Baywatch.
  • I have a really bad farmer's tan.
