Opryland hotel. Nashville TN. Amazing place. Even a river running thru it!



Nashville Tn. Fun place. We got here last Tues. and will leave this tues. Broadway St. is so fun with bands and bars for blocks and every band is good! We are staying at Two Rivers campground off of hwy 155. site number 209. $350. for a wk. Nice place. So far we have gone to Broadway st a couple of times, toured the state capital, went to the Tennessee museum, toured opryland hotel and walked around the Grand ol Opry and the mall. Found a fun local bar that plays music all day just down the road from us called the Nashville Palace. Can even walk to it. Still have 1 more day here but haven't decided what to do yet. Had a decent trip down from Madison to here. Truck was shimmining a bit after we had the tires rotated in Menasha but it seemed to settle down after 400 miles.
Tennessee Museum. Very interesting

Oct 18th 2018!
 And we are off! First stop Kevins for a week and that week is almost over. We have enjoyed spending time with the girls and Kevin and Aprill too. :) Tomorrow we are off to Madison for the Badger game and it sounds like it will be a cold one! Great....: ( then off to Nashville for a week. Happy 10th birthday to Grandson Brett today. Those 10 yrs flew by!  A side note my old friend from grade school on, Diane Hickey Ewing died last week.. We had such fun together in our growing up years. She's had a tough life the last few years and we connected again with most of our core group last june and had such a great day. So glad we made that connection again. RIP Diane.

Oct. 8th 2018

 And just like that the summer season is over! Where did the time go? We have been busy cleaning up, packing up and getting in last visits with family and friends. We leave Friday the 12th for Kevins for a week and then onto Madison with Ed and Pat Lenard for the Badger game. It has been very cool and rainy for the last 2 weeks. Campground has emptied out and many of the seasonal's winterized and left last weekend. We had a end of season pot luck on Saturday and had tons of food. Lots of laughter and fun.  We pretty much have everything ready to go when we leave. After leaving Madison we go to Nashville for  a  week and are staying at Two Rivers campground. Looking forward to it. Then onto Gulf Shores for the month of Nov..Cindi, Mom and I went to Northern Liberty Iowa to visit cindi's new grand daughter. Long drive but fun. I left my car at her house for the winter. I cleaned mom's house for her at the end of sept.. Took a few bike rides on my new bike. Rides well! Looking forward to putting on some serious miles in Gulf Shores.
End of season pot luck. No chance of running out of food!
