I got finally check off one of the high-priority items on my "would-love-to-do" checklist last week - we finally got to visit Nashville! I'd been to Tennessee on business several times but never was able to spend any "quality" time there. Just out of the blue I was invited to give a short presentation to a group meeting at the Opryland hotel and we decided to use that as an excuse to stay a while. We stayed there for the week - it's an amazing place. Biggest hotel I've ever seen (about 2900 rooms, huge atriums, etc) and only about 20 minutes to the town itself.

I've always wanted to see the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman and we did this last Friday night. It was worth the wait. Also spent 2 evenings bar hopping and listening to some great music and meeting lots of friendly folks. Ernest Tubb's record store was fabulous and I was surprised to see a Margaritaville nearby. Had one of their cheeseburgers naturally. Saw Texas Red on a riverboat, too.

If you've never been there, you gotta see this place.

We left lots of tourist dollars there, drank too much, ate too much, but it was worth every cent. Is this a great country or what?
 
Good on ya, John! Have friends near there but never been. Glad ya got the opp!
 
HEY!

Next time call - I'm close by.
 
And did you make it to the Lane Motor Museum? I've been told it's a must see for automotive enthusiasts, particularly if you like the more unusual stuff...
 
Mickey: Mea culpa. I should have thought to.

Doc: Thanks. I thought of you as I ordered the burger.

Sherlock: Yes, we went to the Lane museum. Decent little museum - I was impressed by the placards for each exhibit, probably the best and most interesting I've seen. Certainly worth a visit if you're in the area. (They need to get a Berkeley back on public display).
 
We went to the Opryland - they wanted $15 to park in their parking
lot,so I dropped off the Wife & kids,& went to see a British motorcycle
dealer that was closed (not enough time for the Lane Museum).
But I did get to meet up with Mickey,on a trip later in the month
of June.

Lin is retiring in 8 weeks. We have this idea of regularly visiting various US cities once she's free (especially during summers when I have more time).
Charleston is probably #1 on our list.

But Nashville sounds great too.....time to do some research!

I love Charleston (SC)! But, last time we were there(in the summer), was 115 deg with the humidity.
