Nashville! A significant place, until further notice.

When I wrote back on August 1st that this year I was planning to travel to three significant places, I thought that ambiguity would help me out! What if I only go to three places this whole year? Then they are all significant. But let's say (pretend with me for a moment) that I spend a few weeks in Spain next summer, or if I go to Colombia or Romania or Brazil. A weekend trip to Nashville pales in comparison to that, donncha think?
 

That was my thought process on that one... but Nashville was really wonderful! We first stopped in Bell Buckle, Tennessee to do some antiquing and ate at the Bell Buckle Cafe (delicious!) and then got ice cream. We stayed at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, drove through Vanderbilt, ate brunch at the Tavern, hit the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, walked through all the touristy parts of the city, ate lunch at the Sub Stop, hit the Grand Ole Opry for a concert, drove through Music Row and musicians' farms the next day, hit Fraklin, Tennessee for some sightseeing and then came home! It was a full three days but just the right amount of time.

Check out some of my pictures!

And that was it! Significant? Yes, Yes indeed.
