Music City USA

We had a blast in Nashville.


Our initial target destination was Draper James. It was busy, but Beth found a super cute skirt/top and a denim dress that will come in handy for the rodeo in December.

We wandered down the street for BBQ nachos and some tea at Edley's. A perfect late lunch, enhanced by the Cubs game being televised right in front of our bar seats.

Saturday we toured the Country Music Hall of Fame.



The museum is beautiful and we enjoyed the great exhibits. Learned a ton. Saw some things that we hadn't seen since our childhood. In all, we spent about four hours exploring.

Friday and Saturday nights were reserved for Broadway. This four block strip is teaming with bars, honky-tonks, saloons, whatever you want to call them, each with live music. Packed with people, we managed to find seats in each one and just enjoyed the time listening to music.



While out, we learned that Nashville has become "the place" for bachelorette parties. This was amplified by the packs of inebriated women roaming about.



Our final discoveries were food related. The Sun Diner, names from the fabled Sun record label was our go to brunch spot ... Spare Rib Hash! Merchants was our dining spot on Saturday night. A traditional steak house on the second floor, above the Broadway craziness, was a delicious way to fuel for our night about.

Nashville definitely gets our vote and we will be coming back ... soon ... after all, we are now members of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Time to head to Chicago and our mid-week visit to Wrigley Field.
