The rest of our Nashville tour

So while we did enjoy the whole tour I will say it really does feel rushed and like you don't have enough time to enjoy and browse at the places you visit.  But we did get to see many things so that was good. On the tour and an expected stop was to a local Nashville honky tonk.

We ended up at Legends Corner.

And true to form there was a guy playing hoping to make it big.

He did let us know that any tips received that day were going towards his dental work.  Gotta love a singer who's keeping it real.

The walls were covered with various memorabilia and other items which of course I found very interesting.  Could've stayed longer but again, we were on a time budget on this tour.

 

On the way out I did run into my famous friend and he graciously posed for a pic.

Fun, fun times and yet there was more to come...

Our Nashville Tour

After a fun filled day touring Graceland we headed toward Nashville and just relaxed for the rest of the evening.  We planned on taking a Gray Line tour of Nashville the next day.  We had no idea how much they pack into one tour but we would soon find out.

Our first stop was the Ryman Auditorium which is known as the birthplace of country music.

Lots of cool and interesting stuff to see but we really didn't have very much time to enjoy and browse at our leisure.

It's always interesting and fun to tour a historic place.  Next time we travel there we'll plan on spending more time.

Here's the two of us having a blast onstage.  The paparazzi went wild and the audience clamored for our autograph when it was over.

So after the really quick tour we were shuttled off to tour the Country Music Hall Of Fame.  Now this place is big and again, we really needed more time to enjoy it.  Just another excuse to go back! :)

The building itself has meaning. The windows are like keys on a piano, the hand rails are shaped like treble clefs just to name a few.

My favorite things to look at are the vintage things at an exhibit.  I just think they are really cool and interesting.

One of my favorite pics.  It's somebody's jewelry...I've already forgotten who it belongs to but I thought it was pretty.
