We took a drive to the Grand Ole Opry which, if you didn't know, is the most famous live country music venue in the world.
Unfortunately we couldn't get a tour as they were setting up the venue to get ready for the Radio City Christmas Special which starts next week. :-( But we did get to see the place and the beautiful grounds and of course we able to visit the gift shop!
The beautiful fall colors outside the Grand Ole Opry
Then it was back to down town Nashville for a walk along Broadway where all the bars and restaurants have country and honky tonk bands playing in them.
and we even got to see Elvis......he lives!....
We then went to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
Cam was impressed by Webb Pierce's "Silver Dollar Cadillac" complete with walnut paneling inlayed with silver dollars and revolvers for door handles!
Kenny and Scarlett checked out one of the many walls covered in gold and platinum records.
Mr Black and Miss Black Jr with Johnny "The Man in Black" Cash's famous suit
But lots of walking ends up with lots of tired feet....and Dad with a tired back!
We even saw the original Grand Ole Opry which is known as the Ryman Theater and was just round the corner from our hotel
After a late afternoon nap for eveyone we headed out for the evening and went out for a nice Italian meal and a walk along Broadway listening to the music and checking out the cool shops on the way back to our hotel.
Mac even found a way to follow in her Mum's footsteps......maybe she will end up making a career in this town someday????
Kenny even treated himself to his first ever cowboy hat and Scarlett seemed to like it.
When we finally got back to our hotel that night it was time to pack up and be ready for an early flight home the next day......and for the girls this was as much fun as any other part of the trip!!!!

The cowboy hat would be more convicing if I didn't know he had a Scottish accent.
