With the weather being unusually warm for this time of year we headed out to explore downtown Nashville. Someone at another campground had recommended that we take at tour with Tommy Tours to see the entire area. We're glad we did because Tommy was entertainment from the moment we got on his bus until we left. Nothing better than getting a tour of the city and laughing hard while doing it.
The tour took us into downtown Nashville. Into the business district with the State Capital Building and Court Houses. Into the entertainment district with the many bars and restaurants with live music.
Tommy took us to a building that used to be the train station but has since been converted to a fancy hotel. Filled with stained glass windows and intricate wood finishes throughout.
We next toured the many large mansions of the stars in and around Nashville. This one in the picture above belongs to Dolly Parton. We also saw the homes of Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Martina McBride, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn and Trisha Yearwood. All small homes of 15,000 to 20,000 sq/ft on many acres of property.
Tommy taught us some southern slang. We learned that in the south you can talk bad about anybody as long as you start or end the sentence with "Bless his/her heart". Here is a for instance...That boy, bless his heart, doesn't seem to have all the chairs pushed in under the table.
We decided to stay an extra day because there is still so much to see.
