In October we were able to join Chris at one of his national corporate meetings. This year it was held at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. We had a wonderful time! We flew in a couple days early so that we could be tourists. We saw the Hermitage, which was Andrew Jackson's home. The girls loved the audio tour and wagon ride. We were able to pick cotton out of the cotton fields and go inside slave homes. It was very interesting!
I think the girls' favorite part of the trip was dinner at the Wildhorse Saloon. There was a live band and line dancing lessons in-between sets. They had a great time and we loved watching them. Being mid-week in the off-season the place wasn't very crowded.
The hotel was huge! There were four different indoor atriums, a river with a boat ride, a shopping area, three swimming pools, and a dozen restaurants. The bellman who helped us with our luggage and showed us to our room was won over by our adorable girls. He took us to our room and then promptly decided it wasn't big enough. So he arranged for us to stay in the Penthouse Suite at no additional charge. So awesome! The girls thought that was pretty cool.
