Nashville Tour & at the rally

Lots of pictures. We took a bus tour 4 hour of Nashville with 16 other HH friends. We saw the Parthenon, why Nashville has the only actual size replica outside Greece I'm not sure. The next photo is inside the Country Hall of Fame, it was interesting but we both agreed that 1 hour there was right for us. We enjoy music but I wouldn't call us country music fans. The building on top of the hill is the state capitol, we remember it from the evening ghost tour we took 2 years ago here. Next is the outside and inside of the Ryman Auditorium where the Grand Ole Opry use to be, it's back there now because their BIG new facility was flooded this Spring and is still being repaired. Next is the inside of a bar we stopped at for a drink and then the group on the bus. Of course we always had lots of good food at the CG with the potlucks. Judy did water aerobics most every day and a few others joined her. I'd go to the pool and flop around to cool down, very enjoyable. We are enjoying the rally but it's too hot to sit outside very long, on the last afternoon we were able to.

Nashville Nightlife

Judy started her day by leading a water aerobics class this morning after having donuts with some of the others at the pavilion. I slept in, as usual. We chit chatted with our friends during the day & ten of us went into Nashville to a dinner theater called Nashville Nightlife. Surprise, the food was real good, the singers & musicians OK (but Judy liked them) and the comedian was great. We all had a good time, especially Gary...that's him decked out in TP. Let this be a lesson, never sit in the front row when the comedian comes on & don't joke with a joker.

Lebanon, TN & the East Coast Rally

Made it. We arrived at Countryside Resort about noon Sunday. There were several HitchHikers here already. While I was cooling down inside the air conditioning who should pound on our door.....no not Santa Clause....better yet it was Ron. I haven't seen Ron and Lois since the HHAI rally last fall in IL. Cool. Several of us sat around sweating in the heat & humidity, just like being in the swimming pool but not really. Monday we went to breakfast with Gary & Suzanne and Lyle & his wife. Ya know, you just can't trust a GPS. We had the address of Shoneys and followed the Garmin GPS instructions.....many miles out into the country on a two lane road....and a house in the middle of nowhere. After finding Shoneys and then returning to the CG several of us visited some more before we all (the are 16 HHs here) gathered at the pavilion for happy hour & introductions. About 8 or 9pm we all headed to our cozy little homes. Nite nite. OH....the three ladies who like cake, thats my Judy, Lois Osterhouse & Judye Teetz.
