Full day in Nashville... We toured the replica of the Parthenon and saw a humongous statue of Athena. We then sauntered around downtown Nashville and rode in a horse drawn carriage (the horse's name was Blue 😊) and the driver filled us in on all the history. We are not staying at the Gaylord Opryville Hotel, but we walked all over it (it is enclosed inside and has loads of plants, a river, restaurants, etc.) and tonight watched a little water show there.

Another fun day! Alicia and I toured the Louisville Slugger factory and museum and also toured a 10,000 square foot Victorian home. We moved from Louisville to Nashville this afternoon and then tonight we all went the Grand Ole Opry for a show!

We are on a work trip with Todd and Alicia in Louisville, Kentucky and Nashville, Tennessee. Yesterday we got to tour a hemp plantation and get in 8 races at Churchill Downs (Alicia and I had a blast at the races--the guys joined us for the last couple)!
