On Friday 10/16 we left Land Between the Lakes about 10:00 since we only have to drive 95 miles to Nashville. We arrived at Two Rivers Campground about 11:30. Small place, needs some upkeep on the sites and roads. It was very handy, right next to Camping World- since we needed to get a new camper battery- the original one was defective. After getting set up and doing laundry we drove over to Opryland Hotel. The guys dropped us off to avoid paying the $24 parking fee- they found a spot further out that was free. We walked around this huge hotel for 1 1/2 hours looking at the beautiful plants, trees, and rivers! After walking the dogs we called for an Uber driver to take us downtown Nashville. It was crazy downtown due to college homecoming and a Titans game this weekend. We had a hard time finding a place to eat but ended up at Margaritaville. The food was so-so, drinks are expensive! Entertainment was alright but not great. We walked around and stopped into The State bar, the band here was good. Then we went to Legends for a couple of beers. Could not get into Tootsies or Wild Horse Saloon- so we left for home about 9:30. Quiet night, we could not hear the traffic on the highway out front.
On Saturday Kirk and I had breakfast at Bob Evans' down the street, then did some grocery shopping. After lunch we all went to the Antique Archeology store (from the show "The Pickers"). It was fun looking around at all the old stuff. Kirk bought a t-shirt. They even had live music performing there! It was packed. Lots of people in town this weekend!
We got another Uber ride to the Country Music Hall of Fame downtown. We spent over 2 hours there- lots to see! They change the exhibits regularly so it was new for us too. We then walked over to Tootsie's which was really packed at 5:00 so we didn't stay too long. We went to 2nd Fiddle where there were seats and then The Stage. Could not get into Wild Horse Saloon, they had a two hour wait, so we went to BB King's for great ribs, pulled pork, baked beans, slaw, fried green tomatoes. The blues band was great too. Very filling and enjoyable meal. We got home by 8- the dogs were so happy to see us!
