CG took his family on a much needed vacation last week. Fun was had by all. We packed up the family mini-van with more crap than we really needed, but we needed to be comfortable. Nashville, TN was the first stop on the old trek. Never been there, but now I can only ask "why?" did I wait so long to visit. What a nice place. Very picturesque, nice river front, beautiful rolling hills surround the whole town. The epitome of an old southern town.
I'm no country music fan, but you can not help but take notice that it's influence is EVERYWHERE. Dolly parton and her "assets" should be very proud. Opryland, the sites, the sounds, the people.
Home to Vanderbilt University. The Tennessee Titans (loser to the Rams in the Super Bowl in '00) and the Nashville Predators. Not what you would compare to as "major leauge" with the likes of St. Louis, but at least they've got some pro sports.
We paraded around to many sites and locations in the Southland last week, actually spent 9 days messing around and taking it all in. Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida were all stops on the grand tour. We didn't stay in one place too long, just enough to get a flavor of the area. i enjoyed every minute of it. No politics, no war, no global warming, no celebrity BS, no John Edwards, no mistress, no love child.....none of that crap. Just a lot of fun and free time with the wife and kids. That's what it's all about.
More to come.............highlights of other locales to follow.
Thanks..........................CG
