Nashville, Tennessee

Can you believe we slept 11 hours in Bristol?! It got cold enough to frost things over pretty good last night so the morning was brisk and lovely. We hit the road at 9 am after a quick stop and photo at Sheetz.

It took a a little over four hours to get to Nashville. The drive was beautiful. Light traffic, fall colors, and lovely skies again. We decided to go directly to lunch and figure out our afternoon plans there. Based on a recommendation from Carmen, we landed at Uncle Bud’s Catfish for lunch. It was delicious!

At lunch we decided to book Nashville’s Biggest & Wildest Party Public Tractor Tour. They may not have talked much (or at all) about all the sights around town and outside the tractor, but the inside entertainment more than made up for it! (Check out the MC in the back of my selfie photo.) Among our group were five folks celebrating their birthdays today and one couple celebrating their 10-year anniversary. The couple renewed their wedding vows on our trip. BA and I totally rocked the catwalk during the tour, and the MC called BA a bad girl while she showed off her dance moves. Sorry folks, no pictures of that. No way a picture could do it justice.

We went to Robert’s Western World for a drink and to listen to some music. After that, we found our hotel and got settled before heading back out downtown. We ended up at Kid Rock’s Bad Ass Honky Tonk & Rock n Roll Steakhouse at the rooftop bar. The band was amazing and the people watching was an added bonus.

Another day of fantastic fun with BA!
