Vacation in Nashville























Lowe's Vanderbilt Hotel: This is where we stayed in Nashville.


The flowers were beautiful there. We found the Loveless Cafe and enjoyed several meals there. They had the best homemade biscuits there. We were acting goofy in those pictures with our heads stuck in the face cut outs. The first night there we went into "The Stage". There was a group called "Savanna Jack" performing there. They were really good. When we went out to eat that night the waiter said, you all are some serious tea drinkers. We laughed because if you know us we love tea! We visited the Hard Rock Cafe and the Wild Horse Saloon. We did a Tour of the Stars Homes and saw Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Dolly Pardon and LeeAnn Rimes homes. I told Donald we really should not tell anyone but, we went back to the motel Monday night to watch the Bachelorette and then went out again. The next day we went over to Opryland and went to the Gaylord. It was really pretty. We found the Opry Mills Mall and even shopped. I found some really good children stores there so had to pick up a few things. There were some good stores but I did not take the time to shop. We attended the Grand Ole Opry and saw John Conlee, Chuck Wicks (who sings Cinderella), Pam Tillis, Eric Church, Terri Clark and the Best of All "Little Jimmy Dickens". He was a hoot and the cutest little thing. He is 87 years old and could still put on a good show. We really enjoyed the Grand Ole Opry. The next day we figured we had seen about all we needed to so head back to Kim and Scott;s house. We all went to Canton the next day. Believe it or not, I only bought a purse and that is all. We all went to the Paint Horse Show and watched the Freestyle Reigning Sat night and Donald and I headed on back to Olney.

Those flowers are gorgeous! I didn't know you went to the stars homes. Did you take pictures? That would be really fun to me!

We've enjoyed looking at your vacation pictures! Looks like you and Donald had a good time. It brought back some memories for us because we went to Nashville on our honeymoon, many "moons" ago. We also took a tour of the homes which took us to Tammy Wynette's front door, Webb Pierce's guitar shaped swimming pool and Porter Waggoner and Minnie Pearl's house. Does that tell you anything about how long that has been? All of them have long since departed. But, it was fun and we are glad you got to go this year.
