Nashville, Tennesse 2011

On August 1st we left for a 5 day vacation to Nashville, Tennesse. We all had our country music knowledge packed in our suitcases with us and could not wait to explore the city and see all of the countrty music tourist attractions.
The group posing in front of the museum they walked by on the first day, and later went back to and toured.

Kenny and Reade being silly and copying the statue.

We were lucky enough to tour the Grand Ole Opry!! We had a blast and learned a lot about country music. We even got an audio tour led by none other than Blake Shelton. In this picture the group is standing on the circle at the Grand Ole Opry. Every performer that has ever performed there (with the exception of one) has stepped onto this circle. How cool is it that we are standing where many of our favorite singers have stood. :)

At night we listened to live bands play, this band was from the best state EVER... Minnesota!!

 
Fred, Cody and Reade being funny and posing trying to get the locks out of the ground.
This wall of silver and platinum records was found in the Country Music Hall of Fame. 
This car was owned by Elvis. We got to look inside, and it had a lot of funny features. The door handles were little revolvers.

We had such a blast in Nashville, it was hard to want to come back to Minnesota, but we have memories that will last forever!
