Nashville, TN

We arrived in Nashville Wednesday, June 24th. Actually we are staying in a little town called Goodlettsville at the Grand Ole RV park.  We are only 20 minutes from downtown Nashville.

Thursday we drove into Nashville to checkout timing as we had reservations for a Segway Tour on Friday.  While in Nashville...

Dunn Bros Coffee House

I looked up Coffee Shops and read about the Dunn Bros Coffee.  It sounded interesting so off we went.  They roast their coffee right in the shop so it smelled so.....ooo good when we entered.  As you can see it is quite a busy place and yet in the back they have a quiet cozy area where T and I could sit, enjoy our coffee and people watch.

Ryman Auditorium (first built 1895)

We then headed out to wonder around a bit.  Saw Ryman Auditorium. We walked through Centennial Park where the Nashville Parthenon was located

 The Parthenon in Athens, Greece was built in the 5th Century, B.C. to house the 42 foot statue of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and benevolent protector of Athens.  The Parthenon in Nashville is a full-scale replica.  It was built in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition. 

The best part of Centennial Park for T was the NC&StL Locomotive 576.  He just can't get enough of trains.

On Friday, we were up and at 'em early to go on our Segway Tour.  So...o much fun!  I can't remember when we've had so much fun.  Our tour consisted of riding around Nashville taking in some of the historical sites and touring Ryman Auditorium, Musicians Hall of Fame and Johnny Cash Museum.

Stay tuned for more adventures of Nashville.  We will be here until July 1st.
