Nashville!

Sorry to leave everyone hanging! Yesterday Mommy's wireless internet card broke and she couldn't post anything until finding a Verizon Store today! Here's what we did yesterday in Nashville!

First we took a tour of the Belle Meade Plantation. It was a mansion and farm built in the 1853, before the Civil War. They raised horses there and famous horses like Barbaro, Secretariat, War Admiral, and Smarty Jones can all trace their bloodlines back to that farm!

Here's the front of the house:

Back of the house:

Grave of one of the family's most cherished horses:

This picture does not even begin to do justice to just how big and massive the barn was!

This is just one wing of the barn:

After that it was off to the Country Music Hall of Fame in downtown Nashville!

These are the real "blue suede shoes" from the Carl Perkins' song that Elvis covered!

Outfits worn by Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and others!

Of course we weren't done for the day! :) After that, Daddy dragged Mommy into a Dukes of Hazzard Museum and Store!
