I will be heading to Nashville next thursday and really not sure what we want to see... did you come across any MUST SEE sights that you would recommend?
The Parthenon was impressive, but take a taxi because its far from Downtown if thats where your staying. I found the Country Music Hall of Fame worth going to. I learned alot about Country Music from beginning to end and the influences, etc. There was alot more we wanted to see but we didn't have the time. Grand Ole Opry I hear is something to expierence. There are also some plantations to check out as well. In Downtown there are tour companys with tons of information on historical sites. I hope this helps.
Found your editorial very interesting. Wonder if one of the bars you went to was The Bluebird Cafe. I heard that I might have a chance of playing my guitar there, if my name is drawn. ALso what Hotel was that were the eggs was frozen? What about the Days Inn or Fiddlers Inn (both on Music Valley Drive)? Thanks
If you're going to Nashville, you might want to go in June to the CMA Music Festival! That's 4 days of music shows, & events... it's a real good time! The Tennessee Titan Stadium is where the nightly shows are from Thursday thru Sunday, and I recommend it if you're a fan of country music. I try to go every year!
It sounds like your trip was similar to ours. We didn't decide where to go for vacation until the Sunday before. We left Friday morning and saw almost everything you did. Our main bump in the road was our hotel, the Alexis Inn, where they said they had a pool at a nearby sister hotel when we called, but then when we arrived they said their sister left. And their website said complementary shuttle, but we found out there that it was only to/from the airport.
I had a great time, found a lot of touristy shirts at the local Walgreens there. The Parthenon was awesome, even though when we were through it started to rain hard. We didn't get to Vanderbuilt University or Cuyote Ugly, but we did stop at the Wildhorse Saloon after we ate somewhere else because my mom heard it was good.
I'm not much of a country music fan, but I did buy a nice guy's CD at the airport. Glad you had a good time. Our hotel also had biscuts & gravy. Must be the usual down there.
