First stop...

Nashville Tennessee. Actually, it was the Wild Horse Saloon for lunch.

Then we walked up and down 2nd Ave. and checked out a couple shops and the Charlie Daniels store/museum. That was fun, I think he's a hoot. Then we checked into our hotel, which was GR8 because it was smack downtown Nashville, so we could walk to almost everything. Saturday night we walked up and down Broadway. It was fantastic! There's 4 or 5 bars or honky tonks on every block, all of them with live music and the doors open. I loved all the music and neon! And I got to go in the Ernest Tubb's Record Shop. It was pretty cool for me :-)

Sunday, we were super busy. First stop, The Country Music Hall of Fame.

The history of country music is down right inspiring! BUT…Garth Brooks is not in the County Music Hall of Fame? What's up with that????? No bronze plaque for him! Humph. Contrary to what some people say, I am observant about some things...like the floor. It was pretty neat. Made out of end cut wood.

Then we went to The Lane Motor Museum. It's full of wacky cars. It was fun but I didn't enjoy it as much as Bill did. Go figure.

After that, we went to the Parthenon. Yup, Nashville has the worlds only full scale replica of the Parthenon. It's one of those "why" things. You know, like the biggest ball of string or the world's largest non-stick frying pan…why? I still don't know.
After that we drove out to the Grand Ole Opry ~ which by the way, is nowhere near downtown Nashville. I think that’s silly. But for a country music fan ~ me ~ it was awesome just to be there!!!! Same for the Ryman Auditorium. Lots of great history.

I loved Nashville! It's full of wonderfully kept old buildings full of memories.
