Instead, we were in the hills of Tennessee with Emily only present in our hearts. We intentionally planned on doing something that day. Keeping our bodies busy would help keep our minds busy, and this would hopefully make our hearts feel less sad. We saddled up the vehicles and made our way to Nashville. The drive was long, but we made it. Our first stop was The Hermitage, President Andrew Jackson's estate. It was raining so we had to make our trip a quick one. I think that the grounds would have been beautiful to spend time on if the weather were better.
Here's the house. I would love to go back someday.
Next up, The Country Music Hall of Fame. We were so excited about seeing everything this place holds.
Somehow 16 of us fit in an elevator! Meet some of the group: from front left 1/2 of Daniel, Jesse, Maegan, Baba, Dad, Berto and in the back: Shannion, Norma, Maddox, Tony, Mom and Brian.
One of the Gold Record Walls
And on the other side...this one was twice as large!
As a little girl, I loved Elvis.
Tim was there and it made his day when I held his hand!
Bekah found Lamb Chops in the gift shop!
Before dinner, we swung by the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. It was beautiful and amazing! I could have spent the day there.
The Nativity scene was incredible. Mine doesn't have this many characters. Beautiful!
Dinner at Cracker Barrel. Yum! Tennessee had more of these than we'd ever seen.
They were about every 20 miles!
