Grand Ol Opry


This morning we had perfect timing and arrived at the Grand Ol Opry just in time for a backstage tour. With no country music background, the tour was very interesting and provided us with a great window into the history and country music of the Opry. After lunch, we walked back through the Opryland hotel on our way to the RV. We took one last look around and watched
professional rock climbers attach themselves to the atrium ceiling frames. They were hanging more lights and decorations. It was dizzying, as they were up close to 100+ feet.

We stopped at the Nashville replica of the Parthenon where inside was a big statue of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom. Sammy was asleep in the RV by now, so we hit the road and headed to Memphis. By the time we arrived, it was pouring rain. The Bisconits arrive tonight at midnight! We are all very excited to have our good friends join us for what is sure to be one great weekend. We plan to see Graceland and the Civil Rights Museum. Can't wait, the kids are singing like the King already.
