Today we began the fun with a quick trip to 2 Goodwills – imagine that! It was senior’s discount day and we managed a full 20% off our purchases. We met up with the guys at HOOTERS where they enjoyed a beer and some wings (and some scenery too). We took a drive to the Opryland Hotel area and checked out the General Jackson paddle boat – we might go on a cruise if time allows.
Then it was off to see the Grand Ole Opry property. We have all seen the show hall before and attended the show there so we just visited the outside quad. We have purchased tickets to the Grand Ole Opry but this time of year it is housed in the Ryman Theatre downtown. So that is where we will be on Friday and Saturday evening for the early shows (7PM)
We headed out to see the Bluebird Cafe – interesting story about it and all the people who were discovered here – Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift to name two. It is very small and we were not able to get in without at least an hour wait so we opted to take a picture and leave. The Cheesecake Factory was where we ended up so that wasn’t too shabby. At least now when it is mentioned and when we see it portrayed on the ABC hit show NASHVILLE, we will have a frame of reference.
