Hey there, fellow adventurers!
Day eleven of our epic vacation in the good ol’ US of A, and we’re currently on day three in the fabulous city of Nashville. I must say, I’m starting to doubt if there’s anything left for us to explore here because we’ve been tearing through this place like a tornado in a trailer park! But hey, who am I kidding? We’re always up for more fun and mischief.
Today, we decided to treat our ears to some good ol’ country tunes, so we grabbed our tickets and headed straight to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Let me sum it up for you: this place is a mecca for all things country music. You’ll find exhibits on legendary artists, iconic memorabilia, and even get to hear the sweet melodies that define this genre. It’s a must-visit for any country music fan or curious soul.
After our musical adventure, our tummies started grumbling, and boy, did we stumble upon a culinary jackpot! We landed at Han’s Banh Mi & Pho in the Assembly Food Hall, and let me tell you, their pho was the bomb! Michele went for the Chicken Pho, and I, being the beef aficionado, opted for the Beef Pho. But in a twist of fate, we mixed up our bowls and ended up eating each other’s meat! Talk about a happy accident.
Now, if that wasn’t enough indulgence, we couldn’t resist the temptation of some sweet treats. We made a beeline for the cookie dough stall, and oh my, it was like a sugar-filled dream come true! The flavors were out of this world, but truth be told, it was a bit too sweet and way too much. But hey, sometimes you have to let your inner child loose and dive headfirst into a sugar coma, right? It reminded me of when we were kids, and Mum used to bake, and we fought over who got to lick the batter bowls clean.
With our bellies full and spirits high, we embarked on another adventure – a leisurely stroll over the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. Talk about a picture-perfect view back to the heart of Nashville! The sounds of the bustling streets reached our ears. It was a moment of pure bliss.
But hey, our day wasn’t complete without a stop at the Honky Tonk Central for a couple of ice-cold brews and some boot-stompin’ country music. We soaked up the lively atmosphere, tapped our feet to the rhythm, and truly felt like we were part of the Nashville scene. It was the perfect ending to another jam-packed day.
Well, folks, we’ve only got one more day left in Nashville before we hop in our trusty steed (rental car) and head east to North Carolina, where cousin Julie awaits our arrival. So, until our next update, keep on truckin’, keep on laughing, and keep on exploring!
