Tennessee Road Trip {part 3}

We were up early because we had a lot planned for the day.

First up was breakfast at Puckett's Grocery & Restaurant which was just a couple of blocks from our hotel.

French toast stuffed with peanut butter and banana. Yum.

And Bubba's Eggs Benedict made with biscuits and white pepper gravy. With all of this food we were now ready to take on Nashville. :)

We stopped at the Bridgestone Arena which is where the NHL Nashville Predators play and also home to the Tennessee Sports Hall of fame.

Next up was a guided tour at Ryman Auditorium which was great and got me in the mood to listen to old time country. So much history here!

Then we walked over to the Country Music Hal of Fame & Museum.

This was a beautiful new building and was absolutely huge. It was so interesting walking around seeing all of the old costumes and artifacts.

We walked over to the street that has a huge Johnny Cash mural to take a picture.

Then we walked back to Broadway and had to stop in the Ernest Tubb Record Shop

where more live music was playing.

Then we stopped in Boot Country where I was hoping to find some cute boots.

They are famous for their buy one get two free deal. I couldn't talk Pete and Drew into any cowboy boots though. :)

We stopped in Miranda Lambert's store.

We went back to our hotel and got ready for our evening out. Dinner was at The Pharmacy which has been voted to have Nashville's #1 burger. They call themselves Nashville's "Wurst-Burger" Joint because along with the burgers they also serve German wurst and are a biergarten.

After dinner we drove over to the Opryland area and stopped in the Opryland Hotel. This place was amazing and was like a small city with streams, waterfalls, bridges, greenhouses, many restaurants, shopping...It was really unbelievable!

Now it was time for one of the things I was most excited about for this trip...
a show at the Grand Ole Opry!!!!!

A bunch of different groups were playing including The Swon Brothers (Later On) and Old Crow Medicine Show-- who were so great and very entertaining!

Old Crow Medicine Show were signing their new CD out in the lobby after the show and we decided to join the crowd. :)

Such an amazing day in Nashville and one I won't forget!
