Nashville Day 4

Following the lives of the Logans!

Nashville Day 4

November 21, 2015

This morning we headed out to catch the Hop On/Hop Off Bus Tour. The ticket is good for two days so we opted to get off at stops with outside sites as it will be cooler tomorrow (with a chance of rain).

The bus starts by the Cumberland River.

Nissan Football Stadium – Vanderbilt play Texas A&M tomorrow!

Tennessee State Capitol

Bicentennial Mall – Called the One Billion Year Wall – traces Tennessee history from 1 billion years until now – the wall on the right is etched with information – the tall granite markers on the left tell the year – very interesting!

Carillon in Bicentennial Park

Nashville is home to this full-scale replica of The Parthenon – apparently to secure their reputation as the Athens of the South.

We picked up our tickets to the Grand Ole Opry shows while touring this morning.

This evening we took the downtown shuttle from our hotel – directly to the Ryman Theatre which is where the Grand Ole Opry shows originate for the next 2 months (their usual venue Grand Ole Opry House by the Opryland Hotel is used for Christmas shows now). We were pleased as this is the first time we got to see the “mother church” as the performers call it.

Here are pics of the evening with the names of all the talent from the show. (This is for you Cindy MacFarlane – you are the one person I am sure will appreciate the information!). Picture quality is poor since I couldn’t use flash and they move around so much.
