Nashville, TN

October 4 & 5, 2011

Lonely, I’m so lonely – Greg and Kate decided to rent a car and go to Nashville since I can’t move anywhere.  Kate will have to tell y’all what they did there.  I’m still in slip 10 at Green Turtle Bay!

Nashville

Since it’s only a 2-hour drive from Grand River Greg decided Tuesday morning that we might as well do something.  After renting the car and packing, we got to our Hotel about 5 PM.  Checked in and then walked downtown for a bit.  Had an interesting meal at Demo’s (steak and spaghetti – interesting combos).  We walked back to the hotel (Hotel Indigo) where they had live music in the Lobby Bar.  Unknowns – mostly young singer/songwriters – but really a good time.

On Wednesday, after sleeping in, we walked to the Country Music Hall of Fame.  We spent a good 2 1/2 hours there doing the self-guided tour.  It was very interesting and informative.  Walked the downtown some more and found a brewpub for a late lunch.  It is Oktoberfest so we went with German for our food choices.  Pretty good!  Back to the hotel for a nap (Greg) and blogging (Kate).  So far – so good!!

We walked to a restaurant on Broadway  -- Merchants –, which is housed in an historic building.  Food was fantastic!  Great steaks, sides, and desserts!  We walked back to the hotel and listened to another young singer  -- not just country – who was very good.
