Nashville Vacation 2018We had four days in Nashville with Brad & Phylis (they were willing to put up with me again this year). I didn't take a lot of photos. Connie did so I'll have to collect some from her.
May 15, Tuesday: We drove to Bowling Green, Kentucky and arrived in time to tour the Corvette museum. It was interesting, especially the display on the sink hole occurance in February 2014.

May 16, Wednesday: We drove to downtown Nashville and
met Brad and Phylis at the Country Music Hall of Fame. We got
our tickets, spent a few minutes in the museum and then had
to catch the tour to Studio B. The guide played lot of music
that had been recorded in the studio, and the guide did a
good job of providing background, answering questions, and
being entertaining.

Back at the Country Music Hall of Fame, we finished
up the tour, more quickly than I expected. I thought they
were a little short on some artists and a little long on
others, but I' Dinner at Puckett's Grocery
and Resturant, then stopped at the part next to Fort Granger.
But we didn't realize there was a better way to get to the
fort. May 17, Thursday: Belle Meade
plantation in the morning. Lunch at Loveless Cafe, Tour Ryman
Auditorium, in the PM and Fort Granger on the way home. Eat
dinner at

Loveless Resturant was right at the entrance to the Natchez Trace. It was on the agenda but we never actually did it. The Boyds spent two days driving on the Trace and maybe we weren't so enthusiastic.
May 18, Friday: Franklin battle ground.
Lunch at dinner at Chuy's in the Grand Ole Opry,
May 19, Saturday: The Hermitage, Five Points Pizza,
the Parthenon, Gaylord Opryland Hotel.

The Parthenon. I'd seen it
twice before.
but this was the first time I'd gone inside. I guess it was worth the $4.

I saw this statue across
the field. I wasn't sure if it was women with funny hats
or soldiers with helmets. I used my camera's zoom lens
to know for sure.
