Nashville Tourists

We LOVE Nashville. There is so much to do here, the people are wonderful and the food delicious!   The KOA campground here is by far the nicest we've been in. The site is huge. Not only did we not have to unhook the dolly from the RV, but we were able to park the Fiat and another car in our site. The weirdest thing was that for some reason neither Rusty or I took a picture of the RV while it was parked. I did get a picture from the front door of the RV but it's hard to get the perspective:


Each site has a fire pit, a table and chairs and a rocking bench. We didn't spend a lot of time here because there was so much to do, but we loved it all the same.

Rusty and I couldn't leave Nashville without doing a couple of tourist stops. We decided to do two completely polar opposites while we were there. Our first tourist stop was the Haunted Hearse Tour. They drive you around in a hearse that's had the top chopped off and benches added for seats. For some strange reason Rusty and I were the only ones on the tour and we had a blast. The hearse was a 1984 Cadillac. We found out about all the ghosts haunting Nashville from a hearse, at night, with great tunes! Rusty remembers more of the stories than I do, but he's not as good as blogging as I am so you'll just have to do the tour if you want to find out about the ghosts. Probably my favorite place was music row, not so much because of the ghost story but I didn't even realize there was such a thing in Nashville (I know, naive, right?)  Rusty really liked the stop at the cemetery but that one really creeped me out.



I ain't afraid of no ghosts!

Probably my favorite tourist thing to do was a canoe ride on the Harpeth River. Tip-A-Canoe was the place we were recommended to use and we weren't disappointed. A heron followed us as we moseyed down the Harpeth. I didn't take my camera but I did get this awesome photo with my phone:


We saw turtles, lots of fish and absolutely no one else. It was so beautiful!


We could have stayed in Nashville for a month and still not seen it all or done everything we wanted to do. But Rusty wants to head to Red Bay, Alabama to have Tiffin work on the issues with the RV so that's where we're headed next.

    1. Molly has been reading the blog so I'm sure she'll see it. She didn't think she would have much time to do tourist things.

The Five Words You've All Been Wondering if I'll Say

It happened the morning we were getting ready to leave Glenwood Canyon.  It had been an emotional week. We were doing all the things we did with my dad. Even Rusty got misty eyed at one of my dad's favorite restaurants. But the thing that I stupidly didn't realize was that we were there on my dad's birthday. He would have been 85. That hit me pretty hard but I guess I didn't realize it until we were getting ready to leave. Don't get me wrong, I love Glenwood Canyon. It's one of the most amazing places and it's no surprise why my dad loved living there. Between all the emotions and the fact that I woke up the morning we were leaving to a tweaked back, I think it was just too much. Rusty had gotten up to prep the sewer and, water and electrical outside and I was working on prepping the inside. Making the bed is a contortionist's nightmare without a tweaked back to say the least but I got it made. Then I start to notice blood on the floor. I figure the dog...

First Driving Lesson

Yep, that's me behind the wheel. Rusty and I found this great service road about a mile long next to an organic farm. He had me practice figuring out where my back rear tires were, straight backing up, three point turns, and whipping a u turn. I even parked it in our camping spot! Needless to say I was very nervous to start with but after a while I was feeling pretty good, although it's really hard to figure out where your back right tire is. Of course, driving it down the highway will be totally different! I'm really glad that we got a smaller RV. Some of them are HUGE. I can't imagine driving them down the road... xoxo Julie
