Jerry Banfield with Tickets The Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga.JPG

Will you experience the The Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, TN with me because this post is filled with beautiful pictures of our ocean and river journey? I made this visit with my family in September 2017 while we were evacuating hurricane Irma. The Tennessee Aquarium was kind enough to give us a special event discount on our tickets!

The Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga has two buildings. The first in the picture above is the ocean journey which I recommend seeing first and then this the second the river journey. We went for several hours two days in a row in order to experience it all!

With a life being afraid of being stung by jellyfish at the beach, it is nice to see how beautiful they look from a safe distance!

Did you actually fund yourself for the purpose of trolling jerry? That's some commitment to haterade - rarely seen. Does this get in the way of your other priorities or are you able to succeed in spite of karma? I am very interested to know your story - please tell us - Mr or Ms Anonymous Steemer.

Juicy! Do you know who it is on top of that? Don't tell me who it is!!!!

Good grief, the children do come out to play in steemit. I'm in another discussion about people who do not want to "sully their feeds" with resteems. {bangs head on desk}.

Are we trying to be a cool platform or not?

You just stay on your path, Jerry. We need you.

It's your time to be more stronger against the trollers we are with you, friend.

Hey @jerrybanfield your posts covers almost all the aspects of life, sometimes you represent yourself like a mentor, sometimes like a friend, sometimes like a curator of good things, buddy you know better what we need thank you for your time and efforts. Keep it up brother.
Thanks again.

Thank You Jerry... Really enjoyed Your Video...

...AND You actually FOUND Dory... in all places... hiding out in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Perhaps Walt Disney will give You a "Finder's Fee"...

Also, enjoyed Your occassional self-deprecating comments... and the short conversation with the little girl.

Well Done Jerry... You are a Really Fun Dad for Your kids !!

Cheers !!

Quality time with a daughter or son is keen, so important to strength bonds, trust....I' m going to the Madrid Zoo on tuesday. Thank U for sharing healthy family values

So very nice pictures, thank you for sharing.
Have voted for you as a witness.
Take care.

I will thank you very much. As you can see it has so far been mostly myself voting with bot service.

I was wondering if that was a good place to go. I went to Asheville, NC . I'll Chatanooga in mind for next time. Were all the hotels sold out there?

@jerrybanfield Maybe following your rule of doubling his money in 181 days by upvoting himself, he is doing what best for him, It's your turn do what best for @jerrybanfield and it's lovers and followers.

@jerrybanfield may I ask what's wrong in upvoting your own comments/ posts? 😥 I remember watching one of your videos or reading one of your posts titles where you said .. why not UPVOTE yourself.. something like that.. and I just started doing so according to what I heard from you once.. 😟 or is it only about this particular case discussed here? .. I highly appreciate your advice in this matter as I'm still learning.
I think you're so sincere in your work and especially if people watch your videos on youtube.. keep up the good work..
Thanks

I know right. I guess he trying to recover his investment by self upvoting. He needs to sit down and do the math if it is even profitable. If he is funding 10k to bother you means he has enough steem floating around. God bless his soul and spirit!! Hopefully he finds the right way.

Jerry is a great person :) we will allways support him

Looks like a super cool place to visit, many adventures. The last one I went to was in Atlanta and that was over something 10 years ago now DANG!

Hi Jerry,
I'm born and raised in Chattanooga. We had ton of people here during Irma. This is really a beautiful place to be. I get to see it every morning while watching the sunrise over the mountain and the river while drinking coffee on my back porch.
Come back for another visit without the hurricane mantra, haha. There is still lots more to see around here.

Awesome penguins man :)

So many beautiful photos.

uploaded on busy.org after days of attempts on Steemit platform looped into perpetuity*
While I loved this post, with the great aquarium-tour and photos of the beautiful anthropods, and wonderful family pictures of the @jerrybanfield as the 5-star dad, …
It’s the comment section that went from awwwwww how cool, to lol…rofl with the silly back-and-forth with the protestor up-voting self.

After a few rounds, I had to step away from the silliness and move on. I think everyone has a right; but, in maturity, once you make your point, move on.

Lastly, I thank God for warning us about judging others. It would be so easy to do in some cases; but, I realize this potentially sets myself up for eternal Judgment. I’m nowhere near ready for that.

A wise person will glean from @jerrybanfield what makes a success-story; and filter the chaff from the wheat. Plant the good seeds, and prayerfully, reap a bountiful harvest of Steemit success.

Btw, a little research reveals that crabs with human faces really do exist, so that was quite the catch/observation.

Peace.
