We have arrived at Music City - Nashville

Mom and I left Philipsburg Pennsylvania at 3:30am and drove 13 hours today, with some stops through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky and arrived at our final destination of Nashville Tennessee. Mom worked last night and got home about 9:30pm and then by the time that she got to bed she said she got about 2 hours of sleep total. I drove the whole time and she doozed off and on. When we got checked in at the Fiddler's Inn here in Nashville, we had a second wind and decided to walk around the area to see whats about.

We found Ernest Tubbs record store and went in and looked at all the sights. Inside the store was a statue of Mr Tubbs himself and one of his tour buses. It was kinda cool for what it was. The following picture is of mom and I in the record store.


We decided to grab a little dinner and drink at The Music City Bar and Grill but did not get to see Little Jimmy Dickens, who is a regular Friday afternoon customer.

We are now relaxing in our room and will get some much needed rest for a busy day tomorrow of Touring the Nashville Stars homes and then spending an evening at the Grand Ole Opry.

For being a Friday the 13th it was a great but long day.

Steve,

Glad you're having a good trip. Boise is finally starting to see some summer weather. It's nice to finally warm up, but then I love heat...I'll try better to keep in touch and hope you guys stay safe and drive careful. CP
