Nashville Tennessee



Rory and I enjoying Centennial Park
Nashville Parthenon
We visited Nashville when we left Mammoth Cave KY.  This has been a place that as a family, we have been wanting to stop at for quite some time.  On our travels over the years we have crossed through Nashville dozens of times but never actually took the time to stop and enjoy the city.  I found an RV park right outside the city limits which gave us room to settle in but also be out of the of the hustle and bustle.  We ended up staying for 4 days experiencing what we could in that small time frame. Of course the Opryland Hotel was on our list to see.  We also ate some good ol' Nashville barbecue as well as some great tacos at a hidden gem of a restaurant named Taco Mamacita. We were also able to visit Centennial Park and the Nashville Parthenon.  I never would have thought that a complete replica of the Parthenon would be in Tennessee but none the less someone built one!                                                                                            One of my favorite highlights of the trip was visiting the Tennessee State Museum.  I  always enjoy getting my kids into an environment where they learn and be stimulated by their surroundings in a good way.   This museum was full of educational material on the homesteader, family life in the wilderness, and of course the development of Tennessee.  We always learn interesting facts when we visit places like this. During our time there we also had to dance! Here are the boys dancing away, this time Sophia jumped in.  We will definitely return to Nashville!                                                    
Taco Mamacita, notice Owen's face!
