Our family concluded our time together in Nashville. After spending the morning at The Hermitage, Andrew Jackson's plantation, we visited the County Music Hall of Fame, where the kids were in awe of Elvis' gold and diamond encrusted limo and shrieked in delight when they saw Taylor Swift's jeweled gowns. They all picked out their favorite country music CD, courtesy of Grandma Gretta. Thank you, thank you! We are still listening to Lady Antebellum, Sugarland and Taylor Swift on our drives around town. 
We ended our afternoon with some Tennessee BBQ on Broadway Street. Live country music played out the open doors and into the street from a downtown packed with bars. The kids peeked their heads in to get a glimpse of new musicians getting their start as well as Elvis impersonators singing old favorites.
Nashville was where we parted our ways, with the Flindts headed to Washington State, Jonny and Jenny going North to Chicago, Mom and Dad following Lisa, but stopping in Salt Lake, and our family making our way to Memphis, our next city to explore on our cross county trip.
