Our Nashville Adventure: Day 2

Our second day in Nashville was just as busy as the first day. We ended up sleeping in a little since we were up for 22 hours straight, and heck, we were on vacation without our kids, why not sleep in?

Once we were up and at 'em, we headed downtown for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. This was a pretty cool museum. I really like country music, and it was fun to see all sorts of guitars, clothes, awards, and other belongings of the most famous people of Country Music. They also had special exhibits featuring specific people. For example, they had a Kenny Rogers, Luke Bryan, and Alan Jackson exhibit that were very interesting to look through. We spent a lot of time looking through things in this museum, and it got a little overwhelming at times, but it was really fun.

After the Hall of Fame, we headed downtown to find someplace to eat. We ended up eating at the Wild Horse Saloon, which had very good BBQ. Afterwards, we walked around downtown checking out the bars, live music, and doing a little shopping.

In the evening, we headed to Bert and Erika's groomsmen supper. They had it in a park, served up some food and drink for us, and we all had a pretty good time. They had bean bags set up for us to play, and we got to meet Bert's family which was mainly from Georgia. They were all very nice and it was a fun little party.

Afterwards, we went back downtown with Johnny and Kristina and did the bar scene again. We heard some very good music, drank a little too much beer, did some dancing, and overall had a very good evening. We were downtown until about 2 am, and we stopped at a handful of different bars. It was a really fun experience. Nashville is such a fun city, I definitely want to go back again someday.
