Touring Nashville …

Got to tour a bit more of Nashville today thanks to “Tommy’s Tours”.  It was a 3-hour shuttle ride through Nashville as well as suburbs surrounding the area.  We were a bit disappointed that we didn’t stop at various spots to be able to get out and photo; however, the driver was very knowledgeable and had a great personality.

Govenors Mansion (next to Minnie Pearls former house)

Alan Jackson’s House

Vince Gill House

Dolly Parton House

A few homes we saw were Alan Jackson’s, Dolly Parton, Vince Gill as well as the Govenor’s Mansion (next to where Minnie Pearl lived).

Jaume Plensa’s Isabella

Christian Moeller’s “Stix”

Some of Nashville’s cultural art we saw … Jaume Plensa’s “Isabella”, Christian Moeller’s “Stix” and Alan LeQuire’s “Musica”.

Capitol Building

Union Station

Looking down Broadway Street

We passed by RCA Victor, The Capital Building, Union Station, Nissan Stadium as well as Broadway.

We visited the Grand Ole Opry.  We missed a show Tuesday.  And the only other show is tomorrow; however, we will be busy elsewhere.  Speckles & Mel enjoyed visiting Grand Ole Opry as well!

We stopped at the “Blue Bird Cafe”; however, it was closed so we did not get to go inside.  It is one of the world’s preeminent listening rooms and has gained worldwide recognition as a songwriter’s performance space.  In 2012 it made its primetime debut on the ABC drama Nashville.

We are enjoying our stay at the “Two Rivers Campground”.  The office staff are very friendly and helpful.  They offer live local entertainment nightly on the “back porch”.  Tonight we listened to Tim Atwood, a Nashville recording artist.

Tomorrow is our last day in Nashville.  We are going to explore “Broadway” downtown.  Looking forward to meeting up with my son Ray who will be in the area on business!
