Bucket List: Nashville "Check"

What a great time we had

touring Nashville.

The tour we took was absolutely great. It was a

little pricy, but when you consider that

it also covered all the

entrance fees, no hassel with parking, it was

worth every dime.

We seen everything that we had hoped to and more.

We started the day going down town to the

Ryman Auditorium, which was at one time

the Grand Ole Opry House.

We had pictures taken on the stage and

got to tour back stage. Then it was on to the

Music Hall of Fame.

Very enjoyable and interesting.

Also took in the Legions Bar where we

had drinks and a bit of

good ole country music.

Wall of Gold Albums

There were about 3 of these.

Out side the Legends Bar

After lunch we headed off to the other side of

Nashville, you could say the newer side.

This sculpture caused quite a stir as the figures are

completely naked and very graphic.

This is where the Opry Mills mall and the Opryland Hotel

along with the new Grand Ole Opry.

We first toured the Opry House, and it was huge.

There was a group from Australia and they sang

a few songs, they were very entertaining, then the tour guide

not to be out done, did a great song. A real treat.

Then we were off the the Opryland Hotel.

It has acres under glass, very Vegas like, but instead of

going up this hotel spread out. There is a canal

running through the grounds, which we rode through on large

boats, there were waterfalls, beautiful flowers, just

so lovely. But huge, we all had maps to see that we got

back to the bus, and we all did make it.

From there it was off to the Willie Nelson museum, and by then

we were all so tired, we just more or less watched the movies of

his life. We were pooped!
