Nashville, TN - July 22 - July 29, 2013

Left Memphis at 8 a.m. 73 degrees, raining cats and dogs. Slow going on the road, lots of traffic.
Arrived in Nashville around 2 p.m. Set up at the Nashville Country RV Park in Goodlettsville.  Mosquito attack as soon as we got out of the truck. 89 degrees. Nice park, all the amenities you will need. Hung out at the camp ground that night, after all we drove 200+ miles.

On Tuesday, went downtown Nashville to the visitor's center to purchase an all inclusive tour package. We chose to go to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Studio B (Studio B has been used since the early '50's and has had many famous recording artist of the past and present), the Ryman Auditorium and President Andrew Jackson's home, The Hermitage.

Ryan and his girlfriend, Katrina, drove up from Atlanta on Friday to join us at the Grand Ole Opry and and spend the weekend with us in Nashville.
