Nashville, TN

The best part of our time at Nashville was going to the Opryland Hotel and Convention Center. "Wow" is the best word to describe it. We spent several hours there walking around and looking at the beautiful landscaping which is all under a glass roof so it's climate controlled! That was great as it was pretty hot and humid while we were there. Note to anyone planning to go there: they charge $16 to park, however you can park at the Opry Mall and walk a short path over to the hotel for free. We always like free.

No, we didn't go to the Grand Old Opry while we were there but it's always good to save something for another day. We did go to Music Row and check it out and drove around downtown Nashville. It's a neat downtown area.

Now we're in Indiana on our way to Michigan where we'll be spending about 12 days near Kalamazoo. We're looking forward to cooler weather and Donna is going to get to spend some time with her sister, Sally. Tom is going to take some time to explore even more car and air museums! While we're there he's also going to go to Lansing to an Oldsmobile retirees lunch. He's looking forward to seeing some of his old work buddies.

It's all north west travel from here on out. We'll keep you posted on our adventures as we head toward our next big destination of Yellowstone Park.
